Ingredients for Banana Cake Bh G

  • Buttermilk

How to Make Banana Cake Bh G

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and lightly flour two 8x1 1/2-inch or 9x1 1/2-inch round baking pans, or one 13x9x2-inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, mash bananas. Add buttermilk (or milk/lemon juice mixture), shortening, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Mix well.
  4. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix on low speed with an electric mixer until just combined.
  5. Add eggs and beat on medium speed for 2 minutes, until the batter is light and fluffy.
  6. Pour batter evenly into the prepared pan(s).
  7. Bake for 25-30 minutes for round pans, or 35 minutes for the 13x9-inch pan, or until a wooden toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the cake(s) cool in the pans for 10 minutes before inverting onto wire racks to cool completely.
  9. Once completely cool, frost with your favorite frosting.
  10. Slice and serve! Enjoy your delicious homemade Banana Cake.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
