Caryl Posted September 11, 2009 Report Share Posted September 11, 2009 What flavour icing do you put on banana cake? We always used banana essence and the icing was white but these days the preference seems to be for chocolate icing. As far as I am concerned, chocolate icing on banana cake is only acceptable if the cake is split in half with banana slices then whipped cream added to the centre.

smidey Posted September 11, 2009 Report Share Posted September 11, 2009 lemon or passion fruit is good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted September 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2009 I would have thought those flavours would sort of clash with the banana though. I react badly to passionfruit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bdspider Posted September 11, 2009 Report Share Posted September 11, 2009 I like generic buttery icing cos you can make it any colour. And chocolate of course! But I don't hugely like banana cake... maybe banana chocolate would be acceptable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkfur Posted September 11, 2009 Report Share Posted September 11, 2009 +1 lemon but I have had rave feedback on a white chocolate icing I did once. Don't like white chocolate myself (if there is no cocoa in it, its not chocolate) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
