Loaf Cakes vs. Banana Bread: What’s the Difference?

At Baked at 8, banana bread has always been our signature bake. We supply it to over 50 cafés across London, and it’s become part of the city’s morning ritual. But with the launch of our loaf cake range, customers often ask: what’s the difference between banana bread and loaf cake?


Texture and Flavour

Banana bread is moist, rich, and subtly sweet — the kind of bake that feels comforting any time of day. Loaf cakes, on the other hand, come in a variety of flavours and textures. Our Apple & Cinnamon Loaf Cake is warming and spiced, while the Chocolate & Orange Loaf Cake is indulgent with a zesty twist.


Occasions

Banana bread is the everyday classic, ideal for breakfast or a mid-afternoon snack. Loaf cakes shine when you want something celebratory — perfect to bring to brunch, serve at dinner parties, or gift to a friend.


Why Not Both?

In truth, there’s no need to choose. With banana bread delivery in London alongside loaf cake delivery, Baked at 8 lets you enjoy both, depending on the occasion.


Whether you’re team banana bread or team loaf cake, we’ve got a bake with your name on it.
