Ingredients for African Banana Peanut Cake

  • All Purpose Flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • Butter
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3 ripe bananas, mashed

How to Make African Banana Peanut Cake

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

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
