Easy  banana cake

This Easy Banana Cake is perfect for those looking for a delicious and straightforward dessert. Combining ripe bananas with simple ingredients you likely have at home, this cake is both moist and flavorful, making it an ideal treat for any occasion.

Ingredients:

1/2 cup butter
110g
1/2 cup sugar
120g
1 tsp vanilla extract
4g
1 egg
50g
2 bananas
240g
1 cup self-raising flour
150g
1/4 cup milk (1% fat)
60g

Instructions:

1. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. You can use an electric mixer or beat by hand with a whisk or wooden spoon.
2. Add Vanilla and Egg: Add the vanilla extract and the egg to the creamed butter and sugar mixture. Beat well until fully combined and smooth.
3. Mash Bananas: In a separate bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until they reach a smooth, creamy consistency.
4. Combine Wet Ingredients: Add the mashed bananas to the butter, sugar, and egg mixture. Stir until well combined.
5. Add Dry Ingredients: Gradually sift in the self-raising flour, folding it gently into the wet mixture with a spatula or wooden spoon. Mix until just combined – be careful not to overmix.
6. Incorporate Milk: Add the milk to the batter and stir gently until the mixture is smooth and everything is well integrated.
7. Pour into Pan: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf or cake pan, spreading it out evenly.
8. Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven. Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. The top should be golden brown and slightly firm to the touch.
9. Cool: Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10-15 minutes. Then, transfer the cake to a wire rack to cool completely.
10. Serve: Once cooled, slice the cake and serve. Enjoy your easy peasy banana cake with a cup of tea or coffee!

Tips:

- Use overripe bananas for the best flavor and natural sweetness.

- Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for even mixing.

- Mash the bananas thoroughly to avoid chunks in the batter.

- Do not overmix the batter; mix just until the ingredients are combined.

- For an added twist, you can throw in some chocolate chips or nuts.

This Easy Banana Cake is a no-fuss recipe that yields a delicious and moist cake. With just a few simple ingredients and minimal effort, you’ll have a fantastic dessert that everyone will love. Enjoy it on its own or with a scoop of ice cream for an extra treat.
