How to Make Banana Nut Bread Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 4x8 inch loaf pans.
  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, salt, cinnamon, and nuts.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Divide batter evenly between the prepared loaf pans.
  6. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. If browning too quickly, tent loosely with foil.
  7. Let cool in the pans for 10 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack to cool completely.
