A Banana Butter Cake sounds delicious! Here’s a simple recipe to make it:
Banana Butter Cake Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 3 ripe bananas, mashed
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup sour cream or plain yogurt (optional for extra moisture)
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy (about 3-4 minutes).
- Add Eggs and Bananas: Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then add the mashed bananas and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
- Combine with Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, alternating with the sour cream (or yogurt) if using, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- Bake the Cake: Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top. Bake for about 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Optional Frosting Ideas:
- Cream Cheese Frosting: Combine cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla for a tangy and creamy topping.
- Chocolate Ganache: Melt some chocolate and heavy cream together for a rich and glossy finish.
