Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large ripe bananas
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup sugar
- 0.5 cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup cake meal (matzo meal)
- 0.5 cup potato starch
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round or square cake pan. Line the bottom with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth. Ensure there are no large chunks remaining.
Add the eggs, sugar, and vegetable oil to the mashed bananas. Whisk together until well blended and slightly frothy.
In a separate bowl, sift together the cake meal, potato starch, ground cinnamon, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Stir in the vanilla extract until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread it out evenly with a spatula.
Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve the cake plain, or dust it with a little powdered sugar for an extra touch.
