Banana flesh flour has high total carbohydrates (86.8%), protein (4.8%) and ash (4.6%). Banana flesh flour was used to supplementation of wheat flour (72%) at 5%, 10% and 15% levels. The supplementation flour was used to manufacture cake and studied chemically, physical and sensory evaluation. The chemical analysis of produced cakes showed that ash and fiber content increased depend on supplementation level. Also, potassium; calcium; zinc; iron and magnesium were increased of its blends compared to the control cake at all levels of supplement. The banana flesh flour supplementation had significant effect of weight, volume and specific volume of cakes compared with control. The results indicated that the color of cake containing banana flour was lower than the control at all levels of substitution. The sensory evaluation showed good acceptability up to 15% supplementation level, addition of 15% had the highest score in sensory evaluation for overall acceptance.
