Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together 1/4 cup (54g) of butter and 1/2 cup (100g) of sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add in 2 tsp (8g) of vanilla extract and beat in the 2 eggs (100g) one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next.
- Stir in the 3 mashed bananas (360g) until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, sift together 4 cups (600g) of self-raising flour and 1 tsp (5g) of baking soda.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the banana mixture, alternating with 1/3 cup (80g) of milk. Start and end with the dry ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to ensure a tender cake.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
- Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- In a small saucepan, combine 1/2 cup (120g) of maple syrup and 2 tbsp (30g) of orange juice.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is heated through and slightly reduced. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
- Once the cake has cooled, cut it into squares.
- Serve each piece of banana cake drizzled with a generous amount of the warm orange maple sauce.
- Indulge in this delightful banana cake that's perfectly complemented by the tangy and sweet orange maple sauce!
Tips:
- Make sure the bananas are ripe for the best flavor and texture.
- Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy for a lighter cake texture.
- Do not overmix the batter once you add the dry ingredients; this can make the cake tough.
- Use freshly squeezed orange juice for the sauce to enhance its zesty flavor.
- Let the cake cool completely before drizzling the orange maple sauce over it to prevent the sauce from becoming too runny.
- For an extra touch of sweetness, you can add a few chocolate chips or nuts to the batter.
With its moist texture and flavorful layers, banana cake with orange maple sauce is sure to become a favorite in your recipe collection. Follow these tips to ensure your cake turns out perfectly every time, and enjoy this delicious dessert with family and friends!
