Ingredients for Banana Cherry Cake

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Sugar
  • 3 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen cherries (pitted)

How to Make Banana Cherry Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan or a 10-inch bundt pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, mash 3 ripe bananas until smooth. Add 2 large eggs, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1/2 cup milk, and 1/2 cup vegetable oil. Whisk until well combined.
  4. Gently fold in 1 cup fresh or frozen cherries (pitted).
  5. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Pour batter into the prepared pan.
  7. Bake for 60-70 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. For a bundt cake, it may take slightly longer, up to 75 minutes.
  8. Let the cake cool in the pan for 20 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.

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!
