Butterscotch and banana go beautifully together. Having had some ripe bananas and butterscotch chips which were also sitting in my pantry for sometime, I decided to use them together. Of course, it was a cake – what else could it be?
The cake was so moist and lovely. The butterscotch morsels and the banana frosting tasted great. Just the thing with a hot cup of tea in the evening. Delicious!
You can also make cupcakes and frost them individually.
PREP: 20-25 minutes COOK TIME: 35-40 minutes
Ingredients
2 cups flour
1 tsp salt
1 tbsp baking powder
11/2 cups brown sugar, packed
½ cup butter
1 cup milk
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup butterscotch chips
For the banana frosting
2 cups powdered sugar
1/3 cup butter
1 tbsp lemon juice
¼ cup bananas, mashed
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 180 C.
Grease and flour an 8 inch cake pan.
Sift the flour, baking powder and salt. Combine with the brown sugar, butter and 2/3 cup milk in a large mixing bowl. Beat at a low speed until blended and then at a high speed for 2 minutes. Add remaining milk, eggs and vanilla and beat for 2 minutes longer. Fold in the butterscotch chips and spoon the batter into the cake pan and bake for 30-35 minutes until the sides pull away slightly from the the tin and a toothpick inserted in the centre comes out clean. Cool.
While the cake is baking, prepare the frosting. Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add the lemon juice and mashed bananas and beat until smooth. Fill and frost the cake.
Sounds good. I hope to try it out without eggs, though. One doubt – 1 tbsp baking powder or is that a typo?
No. It’s not. It’s perfectly fine. Are you going to try egg replacer or flax eggs?
Ok, thanks. Planning to use flax
Okay. Hope it’s delicious.
Yum! I love making one-bowl cakes too – they’re winners! Butterscotch and banana is a lovely cake combination 🙂
Thanks. 🙂

Thank you.
This looks easy enough for a novice baker like me and looks so delicious! I hope to bake it one of these days when I get a cake pan. 🙂
Yes. It’s very easy and I do hope you make it. 🙂
