How to Make Banana Cake Omani Style With Variations
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
- In a medium bowl, mash the bananas thoroughly.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- 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.
- Gently fold in the mashed bananas and any optional add-ins (nuts, chocolate chips, spices).
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cool, dust with powdered sugar or add your favorite frosting (variations below).
