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!
