Ingredients for Apple Banana Cake

  • 3 ripe bananas, mashed
  • Vanilla
  • Vegetable Oil

  • Walnuts
  • All Purpose Flour
  • Sugar

How to Make Apple Banana 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 applesauce, oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix well.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Gently fold in the chopped apples and walnuts (if using).
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared 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 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Once cooled, dust with powdered sugar (optional) and enjoy!

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!
