Banana strawberry cake is a chilled layer cake made with soft sponge, sliced banana, strawberries and cream. It is popular for birthdays and celebrations, and can be bought from a bakery or made at home with fresh fruit and whipped cream.
The ripe banana and sweet-tart strawberries balance the richness of the cream, while the fruit helps keep the layers moist. It is usually served in slices as a celebration dessert or alongside tea or coffee; outside its place of origin, it fits easily into an everyday dessert spread too. Its energy comes mainly from the cake and cream, with 285 calories per 100 g. For a lighter slice, choose one with plenty of fruit and a thinner layer of cream.

Banana strawberry cake is made by layering sponge cake with cream, sliced bananas and strawberries. Lightly brush the sponge with syrup if desired, assemble the layers, then chill the cake so the filling firms up before serving.
Whipped cream or a lightly sweetened cream-cheese frosting pairs well with banana strawberry cake. Both complement the fruit without overpowering it; whipped cream gives the cake a lighter, more traditional layer-cake finish.
Yes, a boxed vanilla or white cake mix works as the sponge for banana strawberry cake. Bake and cool the layers completely before adding fruit and cream, or the filling may soften and slide.
Dry the strawberries thoroughly after washing and add them shortly before assembling banana strawberry cake. Sliced berries release juice as they sit, so avoid preparing the filled cake too far in advance.
Slice the bananas just before assembling banana strawberry cake and tuck them into the cream between layers. A very light brush of lemon juice can slow browning, but too much may make the filling taste tart.
Yes, refrigerate banana strawberry cake because its cream filling and fresh fruit are perishable. Keep it covered in a cake container to prevent drying and to protect it from absorbing other fridge odors.
Banana strawberry cake is best eaten within 2–3 days when kept covered in the refrigerator. The strawberries can release liquid over time, making the sponge softer even while the cake remains chilled.
Yes, you can freeze banana strawberry cake, although the strawberries may become soft and the cream may change texture after thawing. Wrap individual slices tightly, thaw them in the refrigerator and do not refreeze.
Yes, you can assemble banana strawberry cake a day ahead and keep it refrigerated. Dry the fruit well, and add any fresh fruit decorations shortly before serving so they look appealing and do not weep.
Serve banana strawberry cake with coffee, tea or a glass of milk. Its creamy filling and fruit already make it a rich dessert, so a simple drink is usually a better match than another sweet.
