Whenever I feel sad or go to have a hangout at my place, I always look for foods and items that are light yet delicious and make me feel fulfilled. So, I always love a smooth Banana Cake.
This week CafeOn brings you the easiest way to bake a Banana Cake at home.
Ingredients
- Butter, 100g (Softened and Unsalted)
- Muscovado Sugar, 140g (light)
- Eggs, 2 (large)
- Ripe bananas, 3 (mashed 450g/1lb total weight)
- Pecans, 50g roughly chopped
- Raisins, 50g
- Buttermilk, 150ml
- Plain flour, 280g
- Bicarbonate of soda, 1 tsp
- Icing sugar, 50g
Method
- Preheat the oven to fan 160C/ conventional 180C/gas 4. Butter a 20 x 13cm loaf tin and line the base with greaseproof paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the butter and sugar with an electric whisk until creamy. Beat in the eggs one at a time.
- Stir in the mashed bananas, pecans, raisins, and buttermilk.
- Sift the flour and bicarbonate of soda on top of the banana mixture, then fold in until evenly mixed, taking care not to overmix.
- Spoon into the prepared tin and level the top.
- Bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes until a skewer pushed in the center comes out almost, but not quite, dry. Remove from the oven and leave for about 10 minutes.
- Then turn it out of the tin onto a cooling rack to cool.
- For the icing, mix the icing sugar with 2-3 tsp cold water to give a smooth, runny consistency.
- Using a dessertspoon, drizzle the icing in lines across the loaf.
