Super Soft Delicious Banana Cake

This super moist banana cake is super delicious and the flavor is easily recognizable. To make this delicious cake you will need all-purpose flour, eggs, ripe bananas, brown sugar, sugar, crushed nuts, soft olive or sunflower oil, vanilla extract, and baking powder. Start by adding 4 peeled bananas, white sugar, and brown sugar. Using a fork, mash the bananas with the sugars until they are well combined, if the bananas are ripe it will be easy to mash them and combine them with the sugars.

If you don’t have brown sugar just swap it for normal sugar but brown sugar gives that mix a delicious taste and also makes it juicer. Add the eggs one after the other while mixing them with the bananas after each addition. Once they are mixed you will then add in the olive oil one purpose of adding oil to this cake is that it will remain soft for days even after being refrigerated. You can use any type of vegetable flavorless oil in this recipe.

Add vanilla extract for the flavor and mix it, if you are using a stand mixer you will mix it on low speed just until everything is combined, also you can use a large bowl with a spatula to mix this cake batter. For the dry ingredients, combine the flour and baking powder in a separate bowl then slowly start adding them into the batter while mixing, if you add flour at once, mixing the batter will be quite hard especially when you are making the batter by hand.

Once the batter has come together very well and there are no lumps, add the crushed nuts and fold them in. You can also opt for chocolate chips at this point and once the mix is ready you can prepare the pan. Use an 18cm diameter round cake pan that is lined with parchment paper, pour the batter into the cake pan and bake this banana cake in a 180 degrees Celcius preheated oven for 60 minutes/1 hour.

The oven varies in heat and you will start checking if your cake is ready from the 50th minute, you will know the cake is ready when a toothpick or skewer inserted at the center comes out clean. Once the cake is well baked, take it out of the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes on a cooling rack before unmoulding it. Let the cake cool completely to room temperature before serving it.

If you are making the recipe for a larger crowd, you can double or triple the ingredients and use the instructions outlined and the cake will still come out perfect.
