The banana cake is a very simple cake. But when done right, it can be a very tasty treat that you’ll want to have over and over again. Here’s some of the bakeshops in Singapore that offer delicious banana cake.
Dona Manis
Dona Manis is known for its banana pie and not banana cake. But if you’re into banana cakes then it’s safe to conclude that you’ll be interested in banana pies as well right? And when it comes to banana pies, no bakery comes close to Dona Manis. Maybe because of the delicate crust. Maybe because their pies are not overly buttery. Or maybe because they add a touch of coconut in their banana pie. Or maybe it’s all of the above.
Their banana pie has a unique flavor thanks to the coconut bits. Slivers of almonds give the pie a nice texture. You have to try their banana pie to find out for yourself how good it is. For sure, you’ll order more than just one slice. Dona Mani is a traditional bakeshop that is located at the Katong Shopping Centre. The shop is open Tuesday to Saturday from 10:30 am to 5:00 pm.
Balmoral Bakery
Balmoral Bakery is as old as Singapore itself. It was established in the same year that the island has gained independence. There’s a good reason why it has lasted this long: it creates classic treats that never go out of style. There are many fancy modern bakeshops in Singapore but locals keep coming back to Balmoral. When they go to Balmoral, they know that they’re getting the same cakes and pastries that they have enjoyed when they were kids.
One of the most famous cakes at Balmoral is their banana cake. It’s a simple classic treat that you won’t get tired of ordering and eating. Even if you’ve tasted the fanciest cakes in Singapore, you’ll keep coming back to Balmoral’s banana cake.
Apart from their cakes, Balmorals is also known for its savory treats such as their hot chicken and beef pies. Many people also swear by their tasty samosas.
Awfully Chocolate
What’s better than a plain banana cake? Chocolate covered banana cake of course. And in Singapore, no bakeshop knows more about chocolate than Awfully Chocolate. Their banana cake is not only covered with chocolate. It also has layers of chocolate between layers of bananas. The reason why their banana cake is one of the best in Singapore is that they only use fresh bananas sourced from small local farms. They use varieties such as pisang mas and pisang rajah. So when you order a banana cake from Awfully Chocolate, you’re not only treating yourself to a heavenly delicacy, you’re also helping out small farms.
The name Awfully Chocolate is a bit of a misnomer because there really is nothing awful with the food they’re offering in this shop. In fact, everything in Awfully Chocolate is a treat to the eyes and the tastebuds. If you love chocolate then you must absolutely come here. Their chocolate creations are both innovative and scrumptious. When you try one of their signature desserts, you’ll surely come back for more.
