I have 3 ripe bananas rather than 1. Can I substitute that many banana for the oil as 1/2 the water?
I would have no way of knowing if that will work or not.
My son wanted a strawberry banana cake for his birthday this year. I chose this one because I liked the convenience of using a boxed mix combined with fresh fruit. I followed the recipe to the letter, but I don’t have a bundt pan, so I baked it in a 9×13 pan for about 33-34 minutes. This cake was absolutely delicious – very moist and flavorful, and the frosting took it to another level! Thank you for the recipe and helping me make my son’s day special!

You’re very welcome! We are thrilled to hear this recipe worked out so well for you and Happy Birthday to your son!
Great recipes. Thanks a lot.
Can this cake be made in a 9×13 pan? How would the cooking time adjust?
Im sure you can, most recommend you shorten the cooking time by about 30%.
Love all Cake Rec. I have a question I think you use Watkins Vanilla, where can I get it, I can’t find a dealer here
We buy it at Wal-mart. You can also purchase it on Amazon.
I made this cake last night. I used a 13 X 9” pan because I would refrigerate it with cream cheese in the frosting. My husband LOVED IT! He had me call our oldest daughter to come get some. She would make the box strawberry cake and top with whipped topping. She agreed this recipe took the cake over the top!
So glad it was such a hit!!
I just did this cake and can’t wait to eat a piece. My cake is cooling, and the frosting is made. The frosting is one of the best I have ever tasted. Already thinking of other things to do with this frosting. It was all very easy to make and quick to prepare.
I’m going to enjoy this.Thak you
Is it possible to use frozen strawberries? Not sure if it will ruin the cake…
I have not tried this with frozen strawberries but I feel like it would work o.k. Alicia.
How much strawberries do I use in the frosting? My cake is baking now.
I should have had my glasses on. I see now lol
No problem. Hope you enjoy your cake.
That look so good,I am going to make that,When I fell better.
This cake looks wonderful will have to try it this week and so easy to make!!! Thank you for sharing!!! I will be a big hit in this house!!
I got off you page once because at the bottom of the page, it says all recipes are copyrighted and you have to have permission to copy or put on another site, and etc. Can I copy them for my own use.. thanks,
Vonda
You certainly can, Vonda, and you can print them out by hitting the little printer at the bottom of each recipe. They are not to be copied and pasted anywhere in their entirety on the internet. That is what the copyright means. You don’t copy them on another site and use them as your own. Thank you for asking and I hope you enjoy the recipes.
Do you measure the strawberries before you mash them, or after? I think this would make a big difference in the texture if I use too many? Thanks!
Before. It is one cup of strawberries and then you mash them.
In your directions for the cake you say to spray pan, I noticed this in several of your recipes,ok spray pan with just cooking spray without dusting with flour , I am confused because as a girl growing up my Mom always greased an flour her pan, Help please
I never flour my cake pans anymore or grease them. I just spray with cooking spray like Pam and mine always come right out of the pan.
My daughter wanted this cake for her birthday, and it was WONDERFUL! Followed your recipe exactly and we really enjoyed it.
So happy to hear this recipe was enjoyed for her birthday. Thank you so much for letting me know and trying the recipes. Have a wonderful week ahead.
