Banana Sponge Cake Recipe, How to make Banana Sponge Cake Recipe | No Butter Sponge Cake

August 29, 2016 by maria 6 Comments

Banana Sponge Cake a light, airy and spongy cake. I had some over-riped bananas so thought of making a sponge cake with them. Love making sponge cakes and make them quite often. I also love baking eggless cakes hence have loads of recipes on blog.

Banana Sponge Cake Recipe, How to make Banana Sponge Cake Recipe | No Butter Sponge Cake

This cakes goes well with a cup of tea or coffee. I have used cream of tartar which is easily available at any store. If you aren’t able to find cream of tartar then just skip it. I have made with bananas you could use any fruit or make plain sponge cakes.

If you are a vegetarian then don’t worry soon would post eggless sponge cake recipe. The challenge to this recipe is the egg whites has to be beaten until they form soft peaks. But don’t beat until they are hard peaks.

The best part of this banana sponge cake is it has no butter or oil. Also the sugar I have used is organic sugar you could use powdered sugar or plain sugar. if you want no sugar then use a good replacer like Splenda.

It would be better if you use an electric beater to beat egg whites else your hand would pain. So better to use an electric beater or kitchen aid. I don’t have a kitchen aid and beat with my electric beater generally.

It’s better to use detachable pans for making sponge cakes. As the cake tends to break so use a parchment / butter paper. Allow the cake to cool completely then gently unmould the cake.

      Adding dry ginger powder is optional, you can add vanilla essence instead. You can use all purpose flour and follow the rest of ingredients mentioned in the recipe. Let us know how the cake was? thanks.
