How to Make African Banana Peanut Cake
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl, mash the bananas until smooth. Add the peanut butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix well until thoroughly combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Stir in the chopped peanuts.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, dust with powdered sugar (optional) and serve. Enjoy!
