Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pieces ripe bananas
- 120 grams unsalted butter
- 150 grams granulated sugar
- 2 pieces eggs
- 120 grams plain yogurt
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 250 grams all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1.5 teaspoons ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 50 grams powdered sugar
- 2 teaspoons fresh ginger (grated)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease a 9-inch (23 cm) round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth using a fork or potato masher.
Add the softened butter and sugar to the mashed bananas and whisk until light and fluffy.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring they are fully incorporated before adding the next.
Mix in the yogurt, vanilla extract, and freshly grated ginger, stirring until combined.
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, ground ginger, cinnamon, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, gently folding them in with a spatula or wooden spoon. Be careful not to overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the surface with a spatula.
Bake the cake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once the cake is cool, dust the top with powdered sugar for decoration, or optionally glaze with a light lemon icing for extra zest.
Slice and serve your delicious Ginger Banana Party Cake. Enjoy!
