Certainly! Banana cake is a delicious and moist cake that’s flavored with ripe bananas. Here’s a simple recipe for you to try:
Ingredients:
- 2 to 3 ripe bananas, mashed
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups buttermilk
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a cake pan.
- In a small bowl, mix the mashed bananas with the lemon juice and set aside. The lemon juice helps prevent the bananas from browning.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- Beat in the flour mixture alternately with the buttermilk, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Fold in the mashed bananas.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 60-70 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
You can also add chopped nuts or chocolate chips to the batter for extra flavor and texture. Enjoy your homemade banana cake!
