Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large ripe bananas
- 150 g granulated sugar
- 75 g brown sugar
- 115 g unsalted butter
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 190 g all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 0.5 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 60 ml whole milk
- 100 g walnuts (chopped)
- 30 g extra walnuts (optional, for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
In a separate bowl, using an electric mixer, cream together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and unsalted butter until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next. Stir in the vanilla extract.
In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in three batches, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients, mixing each addition until just combined.
Gently fold in the mashed bananas and chopped walnuts, being careful not to overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly. Optionally, sprinkle extra chopped walnuts on top for added crunch and visual appeal.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 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 carefully transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
Enjoy your Ultimate Banana Nut Bread Cake warm or at room temperature with a cup of tea or coffee!
