How to Make Banana Cardamom Cake Or Cupcakes Ww
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
- Whisk together the dry ingredients: 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon ground cardamom in a medium bowl.
- In a separate bowl, mash 3 ripe bananas. Add ½ cup unsweetened applesauce, ⅓ cup milk (dairy or non-dairy), 2 large eggs, and ½ cup granulated sugar. Whisk until well combined.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Pour batter into prepared muffin tin, filling each liner about ¾ full, or into the prepared baking pan.
- For cupcakes, bake for 20-25 minutes. For cake, bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Remove from oven and let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- (Optional) Prepare frosting (recipe not included but can be adapted to WW guidelines): Once cake/cupcakes are completely cool, frost as desired.
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.
