My husband does not like cream cheese. Could I use peanut butter instead?
There’s no cream cheese in this recipe. It does call for peanut butter, yes.
Are you able to use this in a regular cake pan instead of a bundt pan?
Sure, you can make it any shape you like, just consider the baking time and adjust accordingly.
Hi Melissa! I made this lovely cake today and it was really moist and tasty! My hubby loved it and had two hunks right away! Winner! I put it up against my best banana bread and he said it was best!
Hi Donna! I consider that high praise, thanks so much. It’s wonderful to hear from you!
Hi, I have a question about the butter, is salted or unsalted, thanks
HI Irene in this cake you can use either/or. I know some bakers are finicky about controlling the salt in their baked goods but, honestly I’ve made this cake both ways and don’t see much of a difference. Whatever you have on hand will be fine.
Hi Melissa, thanks for your answer, i will do it right now!!
No problem at all I’m always happy to help. ☺
If I don’t have self rising flour, do I add baking powder?
Yes, you would need to add 1 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1 Tbsp baking powder and 1/2 tsp baking soda.
Hi Serena, I know if I froze every banana before it became useless I would run out of space, too! Happy baking, Melissa
I’ve been collecting a freezer full of banana’s and have been trying to use them up! I made 2 loaves of banana bread and a banana cake and still have a ton! I’m pinning this one to make next! I love the addition of chocolate and peanut butter!
