Time 1h20m

Yield Makes 8 - 10 slices

Number Of Ingredients 10

250g golden caster sugar
250g self-raising flour
140g pecan , roughly chopped
1 tbsp butter
2 eggs , plus 2 egg whites
3 large ripe bananas , or 4 small, mashed
150ml sunflower oil
100ml milk
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp baking powder

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4, and line the base and sides of a deep 20cm (8 inch) loose-bottomed cake tin with baking parchment. For the crumble topping stir together 2 tbsp each of the sugar, flour and chopped pecans, then add the butter, cut into a few pieces, and rub together until you have sticky crumbs. Set aside.
  • Break up the whole eggs with a fork, then mix with the mashed banana, oil and milk until all the wet ingredients are well combined. In a separate, large bowl tip in the remaining sugar, flour and pecans, and briefly stir with the cinnamon and baking powder. Whisk the egg whites until just stiff.

Finally using a large metal spoon or spatula gently fold in the egg whites, then carefully pour the mixture into the prepared tin. Scatter over the crumble topping and bake for 1 hr, until a skewer stuck in to the middle comes out clean. Check the cake with 15 mins to go, if the surface is browning too quickly cover with another piece of baking parchment.
  • Once the cake is ready leave it in its tin for 5 minutes, then finish cooling on a wire rack.

BANANA BRUNCH CAKE



Banana Brunch Cake image

I use this recipe a lot with over ripened bananas. I got it out of an electric cooperative newsletter years ago. If I have overripened bananas, I stick them skin and all in the freezer. When I want to make this, I take them out and defrost them in the microwave. (Per reviewers suggestions, I have doubled the topping ingredients)

Tips

  • Prep your ingredients ahead of time: Chop the pecans, mash the bananas, and measure out the other ingredients before you start baking. This will make the process go much smoother.
  • Use ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your cake will be. If your bananas are not ripe enough, you can ripen them quickly by placing them in a paper bag with an apple for a few days.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can make your cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This is the best way to tell if your cake is done.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it: This will help prevent the frosting from melting.

Conclusion

This banana pecan brunch cake is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. It is moist and flavorful, with just the right amount of sweetness. The pecans add a nice crunch, and the cream cheese frosting is the perfect finishing touch. Whether you are serving it for breakfast, brunch, or dessert, this cake is sure to be a hit.
