The Best Banana Cake
Ingredients
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking soda
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 3/4 cup light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 eggs
  • 4 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 2/3 cup buttermilk
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit, or 175 degrees Celsius, for optimal results.
2
Next, take a moment to prepare your baking vessels by lightly coating two 8-inch round cake pans with butter and dusting them evenly with flour.
3
In a separate bowl, combine the dry ingredients of three essential components: flour, baking soda, and salt. Set this mixture aside for later use.
4
In a large mixing bowl, combine the white sugar and brown sugar with softened butter. Utilize an electric mixer to blend these ingredients until they achieve a light and fluffy texture, similar to whipped cream.
5
One by one, add eggs to the mixing bowl and blend until fully incorporated. Then, incorporate mashed bananas into the mixture.
6
Alternate adding the dry ingredient mixture with buttermilk to the mixing bowl, ensuring each addition is well combined before proceeding.
7
Once all ingredients have been incorporated, stir in chopped walnuts to add a delightful texture and flavor contrast.
8
Pour the cake batter into the prepared pans, making sure to fill them evenly.
9
Bake the cakes in the preheated oven for approximately 30 minutes, or until they spring back when gently pressed.
10
Remove the cakes from the oven and place them on a damp tea towel to cool, allowing them to release any excess moisture.
