How to Make Banana Poppy Seed Cake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease and flour a 13x9 inch baking pan.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, ½ cup whole wheat flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt. Set aside.
- In a small bowl, mash 3 ripe bananas and mix with ½ cup buttermilk. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, ½ cup vegetable oil, 1 ½ cups granulated sugar, ¾ cup packed brown sugar, and 2 teaspoons vanilla extract until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 4 large eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Gradually add the banana-buttermilk mixture to the creamed mixture, beating until just combined.
- Stir in 2 tablespoons poppy seeds.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing with a wooden spoon or spatula just until combined. Do not overmix.
- Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool completely in the pan before frosting or dusting with powdered sugar.
