Banana Cake Recipe



 
 
Many say that banana cakes are very simple to make….Do you agree? Well for me, it’s a big Yes! Truly it is! This encourages me to cook the recipe too the next time I've got bananas at home . Since I started cooking other cake recipes which are a bit complicated than this, why not try this simple one! I have ripe bananas in the kitchen, as in verrrry ripe that when you tried peeling it, it breaks and falls down.. Yeah! I think this kind of banana is right enough to complete this recipe!!

Banana cakes are commonly displayed and sold in school canteens or even in bakeries and restaurants. It is made affordable yet delicious! It is a dessert which you can give yourself a treat anytime you want! What I like in this cake is the aroma which tempted you to eat more and the luscious banana puree that gives the cake a moist texture when eaten. I made it in a traditional way of cooking banana cakes. No need of more sugar to add in it; no need for frostings because banana cakes are naturally sweet in taste and that makes this dessert really tempting!!!

Ingredients:
  • 1 1/4 cup ripe Banana, mashed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 1/4 cup all purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla

Procedure for Banana Cake:
1.  Mash peeled bananas with a fork. Set aside.
 
2.  Combine well the flour, baking powder and baking soda. Set aside.
3. Whisk banana slices, eggs and sugar in an electric mixer (you can also mix it by hands just beat-in  the ingredients very well) and mix until such that you raise the hook of the mixer it will create such ribbon-like texture. Set to high speed until becomes stiff.


 
4.  Fold in flour mixture using a spatula. Mix well.


 
5.  Add-in oil. Mix until batter is smooth and shiny.


6. Pour batter in a round baking pan (8 inches) and bake in a pre-heated oven (160 C) for 40 – 50mins or until toothpick inserted comes out clean.
 
 
Serve warm or chilled. Enjoy!
