How to Make Ali S Banana Cakes
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 8-inch ring tins or a single 9x13 inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl, mash bananas. Add softened butter and sugar; beat until creamy.
- Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Stir in nuts (if using).
- Divide batter evenly between the prepared tins or baking pan.
- Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. For a single larger tin, baking time may increase to 45-50 minutes.
- Let cakes cool in the tins for 10 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- Frost and decorate as desired!
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
