Eggless Banana Cake Recipe
Where are all my banana lovers at? This Eggless Banana Cake is one of the easiest recipes you’re going to make all year long! I bet that every time you have overripe bananas on the counter, you’ll want to make this recipe!
It’s rich and dense, but not heavy. Moist and buttery. It’s slathered in a creamy silky cream cheese frosting. Perfect with a cup of coffee or a glass of milk.
It freezes extremely well so I make the full recipe and freeze half of the cake for another time.
The best eggless banana cake hands down. Let me know if you try it!

Cream Cheese Frosting
This cream cheese frosting is sweet and tangy! It goes perfectly with the banana flavor, sweet, but not overpowering.
Tips to make eggless banana cake:
- Make sure those bananas are nice and spotty.
- I do recommend whole milk for this recipe.
- I highly recommend using a kitchen scale to measure the ingredients of this recipe.
- DO NOT over mix the cake batter. You want to keep the bubbles in the batter, so the cake is soft and tender.
- Baking times vary, so keep an eye on yours. The cake is done when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. If you find the top of the cake is browning too quickly in the oven, loosely cover it with aluminum foil.
HOW TO STORE EGGLESS BANANA CAKE
Cover leftover cake tightly and store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
CAN YOU FREEZE EGGLESS BANANA CAKE?
- Let the eggless banana cake cool completely.
- Wrap it up in 2 layers of plastic wrap, then with foil to avoid freezer burn.
- Place inside a large freezer Ziploc bag and freeze for up to 2 months.
Ready to eat it? Thaw overnight in the refrigerator and bring to room temperature before slicing and serving.

Easy Eggless Banana Cake
This Eggless Banana Cake is rich and dense, yet light and moist. It's frosted with a delicious sweet and tangy cream cheese frosting.
Ingredients
- 3 cups (420 gr) all-purpose flour
- 3 teaspoons (12 gr) baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 cup (240 ml) milk
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 cup (230 gr) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup (200 gr) granulated sugar
- ½ cup (88 gr) brown sugar
- 3 ripe bananas, smashed (about 1 and 1/2 cups mashed – 240 gr)
- ½ cup (130 gr) plain yogurt
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
Cream Cheese Frosting:
- 4 oz (113 gr) cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup (115 gr) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- Pinch kosher salt
- 3 cups (420 gr) confectioner’s sugar powdered sugar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350˚ F. Using a baking spray, generously grease the cake pan.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon. Set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, combine milk and vinegar. Let the mixture stand at room temperature for 5 minutes. When it is ready, the milk will be slightly thickened, and you will see small curdled bits. Reserve.
- In a large bowl, beat butter and sugars until creamy on medium-high speed. Scrape down the sides and up the bottom of the bowl with a rubber spatula as needed. Add mashed bananas, yogurt and vanilla; continue beating to combine.
- Reduce speed to low and add half of the flour mixture. Scrape down the mixing bowl with a spatula and turn the batter over several times to ensure all of the ingredients are well incorporated. Add milk mixture; continue beating to incorporate. Add the remaining flour; beat just until combined. Do not overmix this batter. The batter will be slightly thick, and a few lumps are okay.
- Pour the cake mixture into the prepared pan. Bake for 50 – 60 minutes, or until a skewer comes out clean when poked in the center. Baking times vary, so keep an eye on yours. The cake is done when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. If you find the top of the cake is browning too quickly in the oven, loosely cover it with aluminum foil. Allow cake to cool completely in the pan set on a wire rack. The cake must be completely cool before frosting.
Cream Cheese Frosting:
- In a large bowl using an electric handheld or stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the cream cheese and butter together on high speed until smooth and creamy. Add salt and vanilla; mix to combine.
- Reduce mixer speed to low. Add confectioners’ sugar. Beat on low speed for 30 seconds, then switch to high speed and beat for 3 minutes. If you want the frosting a little thicker, add the extra 1/4 cup of confectioners’ sugar.

Hello Ruby! Yes, you may. Keep in mind that the texture might change. Thanks for your interest in my recipe. Please come back and let me know how you like it =)
I tried the same measurements but my cake came out very oily

Bake this Eggless Banana Cake last night. It’s the best banana cake I have ever made especially it’s eggless. Amazing and very happy it will be my go to banana cake now.
Thank you for all your amazing eggless recipes.
Hello Lis! It sounds like you nailed it! Thanks so much for trying my recipe and taking the time to come back and let me know.
Hey Oriana,
Hope you and your family are doing good. So delighted to share with you that I baked this cake and it was a smashing hit ?? Your recipes are a treasure and can never thank you enough…. Overripe bananas are such a put off but this cake turned everyone around… Once again hugs to you and your recipes, always feel encouraged to bake… Thanks a million ☺️ Shared pics on Instagram.. Hope you get to see sometime ?
Hello Sudha!! You are so kind… I am so happy to know that you and your family are enjoying my recipes. I saw your photos on Instagram and the cake looked delicious. Thanks so much for trusting my recipes and for sharing your feedback. xo
Hi, would this work as cupcakes? Thanks!
Hello Pavi! I would recommend using this recipe: https://mommyshomecooking.com/easy-eggless-banana-bread-muffins/ Thanks for your interest in my recipe. Please come back and let me know how you like it =)
I decided to try this recipe as a cupcake since I wanted a cake texture rather than muffin texture. I halved the recipe and it made 12 cupcakes. I baked for about 20 minutes and it turned out perfectly. Great rise, texture, and taste!
Hello Pavi! I’m SO GLAD you enjoyed this recipe. Thank you for taking the time to come back and let me know! =)
I can also vouch for the cupcakes. I made 25% more batter than the recipe suggested (too many ripe bananas…). I could not fit it all on a cake form, so I put the excess on a muffin form and they came out great 🙂
As Pavi mentioned, you should bake them for much less time than the cake itself.
Hello João! It sounds like you nailed it! Thanks so much for trying my recipe and for the feedback.

Hello Olivia! It sounds like you nailed it. I’m SO GLAD everyone enjoyed it. Thank you for taking the time to come back and let me know! =)
OMG!
This recipe is amazing. The cake was pillowy and soft. Must try.
Thank you so much for this wonderful recipe.
Hello Saidurga! Wow, what a compliment! I’m so glad you enjoyed it and thank you so much for taking the time to come back and let me know!
I loved mkaing this recipe; i didn’t have 2 sticks of butter so I substituted it entirely with 3/4 cup vegetable oil and it worked perfectly.
I made a cream cheese frosting for a pumpkin cake on Sunday, so I didn’t want another one.
I used instant banana cream pudding & pie filling on this cake and it was awesome.
Thanks for the recipe.
I recommend it and will def do it again.
Sounds like you nailed it, Joana! Thanks so much for your feedback and for trying my recipe.
