Banana cake with orange maple sauce is a delightful blend of classic banana cake flavors enhanced with a tangy and sweet orange maple sauce. This recipe brings together the richness of bananas with the freshness of orange juice and the sweetness of maple syrup, making it a perfect treat for any occasion.

Ingredients:

1/4 cup butter
54g
1/2 cup sugar
100g
2 tsp vanilla extract
8g
2 eggs
100g
3 bananas
360g
4 cups self-raising flour
600g
1 tsp baking soda
5g
1/3 cup milk (1% fat)
80g
1/2 cup maple syrup
120g
2 tbsp orange juice
30g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
2. Prepare the Wet Mixture:
- 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.
3. Combine Dry Ingredients:
- In a separate bowl, sift together 4 cups (600g) of self-raising flour and 1 tsp (5g) of baking soda.
4. Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients:
- 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.
5. Bake the 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.
6. Prepare the Orange Maple Sauce:
- 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.
7. Serve:
- 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.
8. Enjoy:
- 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!
