My Favorite Banana cake Recipe
Yield: 12 pieces
Ingredients
Dought for cake:
-
290 gr flour
-
1 tsp soda
-
1 tsp cinnamon
-
a pinch of salt
-
320 gr bananas (or 3 medium)
-
210 gr sugar
-
70 ml oil
-
70 gr nut butter (I like to add peanut butter)
-
90 ml orange juice + zest
-
1 tbsp vinegar
-
vanilla
Decoration
-
almond petals and chocolate drops
Instructions
The more ripe the bananas are, the better.
Preheat the oven to 170C. Form 25*25cm.
Sift dry ingredients (flour, soda, cinnamon, salt) together.
Bananas, sugar, vanilla, orange juice, zest, and vinegar - grind with an immersion blender into a homogeneous mass (or even with a fork).
Add oil and nut paste to the banana mixture, and combine with a whisk.
Substitutions If you decide to replace the nut paste with sunflower/olive oil - then you have to add 40 gr of oil instead of 70 gr of nut paste). If you want to use butter instead of nut past - just use it at room temperature in 1 to 1 proportion.
Mix the flour part and the banana with a SPATULA.
Bake, depending on the size of your mold, for about 35 (+ -7) minutes (if you bake the dough in a small mold (10x25 cm) and it lies in a "thick layer", then the baking time should be increased, if you poured the dough onto a baking sheet 40x40 cm - then reduce backing time ❤️ ). Check readiness - on a dry toothpick.
I had a large baking sheet (25x25 cm) and my thin cake was baked in 28 minutes.
