How to Make Banana Cake Light Texture And Moist

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, mash bananas until mostly smooth. Add sugar, oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix well.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 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. Fold in the chopped walnuts (optional).
  6. Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  7. Bake for 50-55 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 inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Dust with powdered sugar or frost with your favorite frosting (optional).

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
