This Thermomix Banana and Pineapple Cake is super simple to make and there is a good chance you will have everything you need to make it in your pantry - winning!
I've been making this Banana and Pineapple Cake for years, so it made sense to convert it to make in my Thermomix! Β This cake is so deliciously moist and full of flavour and it really doesn't need to be covered in icing, but today I couldn't resist!
I usually make this cake in a large loaf tin (which you can also do but it will take around 45 minutes to bake), howeverΒ by making it in a slice tin it seems to go further and is perfect to pop a small slice into the kids lunch boxes. Β This cake is also freezer friendly, so you can pop some away for another time - that's if it lasts long enough!
Remember to also check out our recipe on Thermomix Banana Cake here! It comes with Cream Cheese Frosting as well.
Ingredients
- 2 medium bananas
- 150 g crushed pineapple - drained
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 200 g caster sugar
- 250 g self raising flour
- 30 g of desiccated coconut
- 140 g coconut oil
- 50 g pineapple juice
- 2 eggs
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 170 degrees and line a slice tin with baking paper.
- Peel the bananas and place them into your Thermomix bowl along with the eggs. Mix for 10 seconds on speed 4.
- Add the remaining ingredients and mix for 10 seconds, speed 4, REVERSE.
- Scrape down the sides of the bowl and mix for a further 5 seconds, speed 4, REVERSE.
- Pour the mixture into your prepared tin and bake in the oven for 35 minutes or until cooked through when tested with a skewer.
Please note the baking time for this recipe can vary depending on the size/moisture content of your banana. Β I suggest checking your cake at the 35 minute mark and cooking for 5 minute increments as needed.

Trina says
Hi I can't have banana is there something else I could use instead? Thanks π
Lauren Matheson says
Hi Trina, I haven't tried this recipe without the banana I'm sorry x
Megan says
Could this be made without the sugar?
Lauren Matheson says
Hi Megan, I haven't tried making this without sugar I'm afraid. You could certainly reduce the amount used though.
Lauren Dykes says
Hi girls beautiful taste but seems to fall apart easily . Is there to much moisture in the cake. I think I added a little extra juice & oil?
Thanks.
Jess says
Hi! Looks great! Do you think it would work with fresh pineapple? Maybe crush it in the tmx?
Lauren Matheson says
Hi Jess, I haven't tried it with fresh pineapple before. It should work, but you may need to add a little extra liquid. Sorry I can't be of more help!
Leanne Johnson says
Do I have to use coconut oil? Is there something else that could be used.
Lucy says
You could use vegetable oil instead π

melissa says
what icing recipe did you use in the pictures? it looks divine!
Lauren says
Hi Melissa,
It's a super simple icing of around 1 1/2 cups of icing sugar, a teaspoon of butter and add use enough boiling water until you get the right consistency.
