Ingredients for Banana Cake X

  • Butter Recipe Cake Mix
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • Sour Cream
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
  • 4 large eggs

How to Make Banana Cake X

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans. Set aside.
  3. Mash 3 ripe medium bananas with a fork until mostly smooth. Set aside.
  4. In a large bowl, combine 1 box (15.25 oz) yellow cake mix and 1 teaspoon baking soda.
  5. Add the mashed bananas, 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened, 4 large eggs, 1 cup granulated sugar, and 1/2 cup milk. Beat on low speed until just combined.
  6. Increase speed to medium and beat for 4-5 minutes, or until the batter is light and fluffy.
  7. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans.
  8. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes before inverting them onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Once cooled, frost with your favorite frosting (chocolate frosting recommended!).

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!
