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.

lemon or passion fruit is good

I would have thought those flavours would sort of clash with the banana though. I react badly to passionfruit

don't knock it till ya try it

send both types to me (not Wok) and I will give you my honest thoughts on the subject

You are correct though, as a kid, it was always white icing but my daughters use chocolate

(to be honest I dont eat it)

cream cheese lemon icing for me!!!

lemon icing or lemon cream cheese icing is not bad

Chocolate or cream cheese!!!

:bounce: Lemon icing is good!!

+1 for lemon.

lemon icing is imo the best for banana cake

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.

+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)

I've never heard of banana cake before...

Oh...It's banana bread! Ok, wait, you put icing on it?!?

you've never had kiwi banana cake?....you poor wee thing

lemon or passion fruit is good

looks like lemon is quite popular. 8)

Chocolate - no cream or bananas in the middle, either!

White chocolate ganache. That'd be good.

i dont care as long as its around an inch thick

Love! My Chocolate Icing

My fiancee is a choc icing purist, but I love cream cheese icing with orange zest - it goes surprisingly well on banana cake

Lemon cream cheese icing. I'm just not a big chocolate fan.
