Tips:
- Use very ripe bananas for the best flavor. Overripe bananas are sweeter and have a more intense banana flavor.
- Use unsalted butter to control the amount of salt in the cake. You can always add more salt if needed, but it's difficult to remove salt if you add too much.
- Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help to incorporate air into the cake, making it light and airy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. This will help to prevent the cake from curdling.
- Stir in the dry ingredients gradually. Overmixing can result in a tough cake.
- Fold in the walnuts and mashed bananas. Be careful not to overmix, as this can also result in a tough cake.
- Bake the cake in a preheated oven. This will help to ensure that the cake rises evenly.
- Check the cake for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, the cake is done.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting or serving.
