Recipe Tips
- You can swap the raspberry jam for a different jam. This alteration will result in a slightly different flavored cake. For example, a fig jam will leave you a chocolate fig cake. I have tried it, and it’s delicious.
- If you don’t mash the bananas enough, then you will have little lumps of banana in your cake. These lumps won’t negatively impact your cake at all and are quite normal.
- This cake is pretty amazing warm, so if you're not adding any cream to the cake, then you should give it a try while it is still warm.
