This moist Banana cake is ridiculously moist, fluffy and nutty with little time for preparation. This cake is simple to make and comes together in a short time. It is a spur-of-the-moment cake. A cake that’s so great for breakfast or when unexpected guests come knocking at your door.

You want your bananas to be ripe with many black spots, this means they’re soft and full of sugars. You can peel them and freeze them to make banana bread at a later date too. Banana adds not only flavour to this bread but also moisture.

Make sure your bananas are very ripe with lots of black spots. You can add pecan walnuts or chocolate chips to this banana bread recipe. For easy removal, line the loaf pan with parchment paper leaving about 3 inches of paper folded over the top of the pan.

Start by mashing about 4 to 5 bananas until smooth then add in a cup of brown and white sugar then stir that together. Add in one cup of butter, and five large eggs and then whisk well so that the eggs can get mixed well in the batter.

Next, you will add the vanilla and almond extract, about a tablespoon of each. What makes this banana cake so good is the almond flour, you will add to the mixture. Most recipes for banana cakes call for two cups of all-purpose flour but you can use one cup of the almond meal and one cup of all-purpose flour and then add baking soda.

Combine the ingredients, ensuring everything is all mixed and moist and no flour clumps can be felt or seen. To prepare your baking pan, butter up the sides and the bottom well so the cake doesn’t stick.

Once all the sides and bottom are well buttered, pour the batter into the pan then set the oven to 350 degrees and bake for about 60 minutes.
