How to Make Accra Banana Peanut Cake Ghana

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x12 inch baking pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together 10 ounces (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 2 cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Lightly beat 4 large eggs and gradually add them to the creamed butter and sugar mixture, mixing well after each addition.
  5. In a separate bowl, mash 8 ripe bananas with a fork. Stir in 1 cup coarsely chopped peanuts.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the mashed banana and peanut mixture, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  7. Pour batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
  8. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. While the cake is still warm, prepare the cinnamon-sugar topping: In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
  10. Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the warm cake.
  11. Let the cake cool completely in the pan before serving. Enjoy!
