Banana Cream Cake

Banana Cream Cake flower is named for the strain Leafly also calls Banana Cake. Paisa Grow Seeds is the original breeder in Leafly’s account, and Wedding Cake and Monkey Banana are the parents it names.

Breeder, parents and the Banana Cake name

Leafly’s description is a sativa-dominant hybrid, and it lists Banana Cream Jealousy and Tropical Burst as the strain’s children. It also notes that the breeder In House Genetics has its own, different Banana Cake, a cross of Banana OG and Wedding Cake.

AllBud gives the cross as Banana Kush with Cheese Cake, says the strain was named for its flavour, and gives a 70/30 indica-to-sativa split that it calls indica-dominant. More hybrids to compare are collected in our best hybrid strains guide.

Pear, vanilla and a creamy exhale

Leafly’s flavour tags put pear first, then vanilla and earthy. The page text adds a creamy, cool exhale with pear, chestnut and vanilla notes, and individual reviewers mention banana, a hint of mint, or lemon and citrus.

AllBud’s flavour notes describe a sweet, doughy, creamy banana with a sugary exhale. Its aroma is similar, picking up a touch of spicy earthiness once the nugs burn.

Growers quoted by Leafly report dense, light green nugs with tiny orange hairs and a frosty trichome coating. AllBud’s picture is of thick, grape-shaped nugs in a minty green, with sparse thin orange hairs and tiny amber-tinted white trichomes.

Limonene, caryophyllene and pinene

Leafly puts THC near 20%, and its potency meter rates that above average. The terpene panel names caryophyllene, limonene and pinene, while the page text singles out limonene as the dominant one. Our limonene explainer unpacks that citrus terpene.

Uplifted, giggly, happy and relaxed are the effects Leafly readers report. AllBud describes a quick start with energy and creativity, then a heady, hazy, happy stretch with giggly spells and a light, relaxed body feel.
