Banana crying cake is a layered dessert made with chocolate sponge cake, banana, whipped cream and chocolate sauce. It is especially associated with Turkish home baking, and the sauce is usually poured over the cream-covered cake.
Make banana crying cake by baking a chocolate sponge, letting it cool, then layering it with sliced banana and whipped cream. Finish with chocolate sauce and chill the cake before slicing so the layers hold together.
It is called banana crying cake because the chocolate sauce drips down the sides like tears. The name describes the cake’s appearance, rather than an ingredient or a special preparation technique.
Yes, banana crying cake is a popular Turkish-style homemade dessert. Recipes commonly combine familiar cake ingredients with banana, whipped cream and chocolate sauce, though the exact layers and decorations vary between households.
Yes, you can use a chocolate cake mix for banana crying cake. Bake it according to the package directions, let it cool completely, then add the banana and whipped-cream layers and finish with chocolate sauce.
Yes, chocolate ganache can replace the usual chocolate sauce on banana crying cake. Let it cool until pourable before adding it, so it does not melt the whipped cream or run off the cake too quickly.
Add the banana slices to banana crying cake shortly before assembling or serving, and cover them with the cream layer. A light coating of lemon juice can also slow browning, but too much may affect the flavor.
Yes, banana crying cake can be assembled the day before serving and chilled. Keep it covered in the refrigerator; the layers will firm up, although the bananas may soften as the cake sits.
Store banana crying cake covered in the refrigerator because it contains fresh banana and whipped cream. For the best texture, eat it within a few days and avoid leaving it at room temperature for an extended period.
Freezing banana crying cake is not ideal. The bananas can become watery after thawing, and the whipped-cream layer may lose its smooth texture. Refrigerate leftovers in a covered container instead.

Banana crying cake is a Turkish home-style take on ağlayan pasta, or “weeping cake”: a soft chocolate sponge layered with banana slices and whipped cream, then covered with chocolate sauce that trickles down the sides. The name describes that distinctive saucy finish rather than a separate style of cake.
It is served chilled in slices, often for afternoon tea, family gatherings or celebrations. The sponge is tender, the banana adds mellow sweetness, and the cream and sauce make each bite rich and dessert-like. It is mainly a source of carbohydrates, with 265 calories per 100 g. For a less rich slice, use a lighter hand with the whipped cream and sauce, or serve it with fresh fruit and unsweetened tea or coffee.
