BANANA CUPCAKE WITH CREAM CHEESE FROSTING

July 17, 2017 | Recipe by Bake with Paws




This is one of my favourite chiffon cake recipes. I baked these fluffy and soft banana chiffon cupcakes for my mother-in-law’s birthday. The original recipe was baked in tube pan. However, the tube pan shape would not have been appropriate for a birthday cake. So, I decided to make cupcakes instead.

  1. I made the banana cupcakes with cream cheese frosting. They're delicious. The combination of a chiffon cake with cream cheese frosting is quite unusual, but it's quite nice. Thanks for the recipe.

    1. Thank you for clarification. Sorry, lemon juice is substitute of cream of tartar. If you use lemon juice then do not need to use cream of tartar. I just amended the recipe.
      Cheers :)
