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!

Preheat your oven to 170 degrees and line a slice tin with baking paper.

Scrape down the sides of the bowl and mix for a further 5 seconds, speed 4, REVERSE.

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.

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.
Thankyou very easy to make and delicious

We’re so glad you enjoyed it Diane 🙂
Do I have to use coconut oil? Is there something else that could be used.
You could use vegetable oil instead 🙂
Hi! Looks great! Do you think it would work with fresh pineapple? Maybe crush it in the tmx?

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!
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.
Could this be made without the sugar?
Author
Hi Megan, I haven’t tried making this without sugar I’m afraid. You could certainly reduce the amount used though.
Hi I can’t have banana is there something else I could use instead? Thanks 🙂
