Easy banana cake FAQ:
Bake the Easy Banana Cake for 35-45 minutes at the specified temperature. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean when the cake is done.
You can use a loaf pan or a standard round cake pan for this recipe. Make sure to grease and line the pan to prevent sticking.
Store leftover banana cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, you can refrigerate it for about a week or freeze it for up to 3 months.
Yes, you can substitute self-raising flour with all-purpose flour, but make sure to add 1-2 teaspoons of baking powder to the flour to help the cake rise.
If you don't have ripe bananas, you can ripen them quickly by placing them in a paper bag for a day or two. Alternatively, you can use other mashed fruits like applesauce or pumpkin puree, but this may alter the flavor.
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.
