How to Make Southern Style Banana Cake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch tube pan.
- Prepare Ingredients: Ensure butter and eggs are at room temperature. Mash bananas thoroughly.
- Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter and 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy. (Use an electric mixer for best results)
- Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in 4 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract.
- Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with 1 cup buttermilk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- Fold in Bananas and Nuts: Gently fold in 3 cups mashed ripe bananas and 1 cup chopped pecans or walnuts.
- Bake: Pour batter into the prepared tube pan. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool: Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
