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! 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), however 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. 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. 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 🙂
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 🙂

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.
