I made a rich and fancy eggless banana cake for my eldest son's birthday this year and it turned out to be the best banana cake recipe ever! Even though it is not a layer cake with beautiful decorations and stuff, I call it fancy because of some of the ingredients used and procedure followed.

So it is not your ordinary banana cake which you make just to use those over ripe bananas sitting on the kitchen counter. This is an extra special, moist banana cake without eggs.The birthday fell on the same day as one of our religious holidays and I wasn't sure if I was going to bake a cake. I was most probably planning to buy one. So in the morning for breakfast I made his favorite eggless pancakes, stacked one on top of the other with some Nutella and store bought frosting in between each pancake and made it as a pancake-cake and put some candles and asked him to cut it. eggless banana cake full

Later in the afternoon saw this recipe for a decadent banana cake with maple frosting and it looked very tempting. So I decided to give it a try because I had all the ingredients too! Although it looked all simple, I realized that it involved a lot of steps and it did take more time than I had anticipated. moist banana cake without eggs

But the result was all worth it because this no eggs moist banana sheet cake was out of the world! Until now when it came to banana recipes in the blog my vote was for these eggless hummingbird cupcakes and vegan banana cupcakes but now this banana sheet cake with maple frosting also joins the list.Recipe

  Thank you very much for the feedback, Bhoomi. I don't have pineapple coconut muffins, but you can try these pineapple carrot muffins and substitute the carrot with coconut probably.

I made this for the very first time and it turns out awesome. Couldn't tell that it is made without butter as it just taste as moist as butter cake. I added chocolate chips into the batter, so with the melted chocolate chips within the cake, it makes it perfect! Goes well with a cup of coffee/tea of your choice.. ✌️

Hi Madhuram! I must say you have a fabulous blog. This eggless banana cake is one of the first eggless cakes I have baked, as I have a friend who doesn't consume eggs. This cake turned out beautiful. Instead of using all purpose flour , I used cake flour. I frosted this cake with a homemade caramel frosting and sprinkled some flaked almonds on top as I didn't have pecans on hand. Thanks for the wonderful recipe!

Hi Madhu,
Thank you for this wonderful recipe. Its very challenging to achieve the right consistency of the cake in an eggless version. Your recipe was so close to the egg version of banana cake. Made this cake yesterday, and thank you so much it turned out so well.
Also can I use melted butter instead of oil for a richer flavour? Will the cake be soft if I use butter..? kindly advice.
Thanks and warm regards,
Priya

  You're very welcome Priya. Yes, you can use melted butter as well, but I have experienced that oil gives a moister texture than butter.

I cannot eat eggs--allergic to them--so I am always on the lookout for really good replacement recipes that I can have. This tastes just like the recipe my mother-in-law uses, minus the eggs! This will make my family happy for a very long time.....I did skip the nuts and icing and just dusted with powdered sugar while it was still warm--it makes a nice crusty top!

I made this today, it was good although I forgot to add the yogurt. It wasn't moist. Also I did not bake the peacans with the butter and sugar, just caramelised it. I cut back on powdered sugar for the frosting, i used 1 cup intead if 2. Maybe i should use 3/4 c next time. I will definitely make this again and will not forget the yogurt. Thank you for this recipe.

Do you think I could use applesauce in place of the yogurt? Thank you. 🙂

  I wouldn't prefer applesauce for this recipe because it will become more dense because we are already using mashed bananas.

What can I use instead of avocado oil? I can't afford that. I wish that there were good eggless recipes without such expensive and hard to get ingredients.

  You can use any oil instead of avocado oil.
