Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 19

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 teaspoon allspice
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
Pinch cloves
1/2 cup 1 stick unsalted butter, room temperature
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1 1/2 cups mashed ripe bananas (about 3 large)
1 cup sour cream
2 large eggs
1 8-ounce block light or regular cream cheese, room temperature
3 tablespoons unsalted butter (room temperature)
2 cups powdered (confectioner's sugar)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
Pinch salt
Milk (only if needed for thinning the icing to a spreading consistency)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Butter and flour a 13-inch x 9-inch baking pan.
  • In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, and cloves. Set aside.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the beater blade attachment or in a large bowl using an electric mixer, beat together the butter and sugar on medium speed until pale and fluffy, about 1 - 2 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time and mix until well incorporated. Mix in the sour cream and the bananas.
  • Pour in the flour mixture, a little bit at a time, beating continuously until well-incorporated.
  • Spread batter into the prepared pan.
  • Bake for about 25 minutes, or until the top of the cake is golden and a toothpick or tester inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove the cake from the oven and place on a wire rack to cool completely.
  • To make the frosting, fit a stand mixer with the beater attachment or use a large bowl and an electric hand mixer. On medium speed, beat together the cream cheese and butter until smooth. Turn the mixer to low and gradually add the powdered sugar. Once all the powdered sugar has been added, increase the speed to medium and beat for another 30 seconds. Add the vanilla and pinch salt; beat for another minute or so until smooth. Add a little milk (a couple of teaspoons at a time) if the frosting seems too stiff to spread.
  • Spread frosting onto completely cooled cake. Cut into 12 pieces and serve. Cover and store leftover cake in the refrigerator; it keeps well (and keeps getting better) for 3 - 4 days.

SUPER MOIST BANANA CAKE WITH WALNUTS AND ALMONDS



SUPER MOIST BANANA CAKE WITH WALNUTS AND ALMONDS image

Categories     Cake     Dessert     Bake     Christmas     Thanksgiving     Vegetarian     Quick & Easy     Mother's Day     Banana     Summer     Winter     Potluck

Yield 12 2 thick slices

Number Of Ingredients 16

Alright , folks, this is my version of the ingredients that went in:
2.5 cups of self rising flour* ( notice it is self rising, why? cause I did not have the regular one ,and seriously a little bit of baking powder should technically make the cake more airy. In any case, my gripe about the run to the grocery store , well I stood my ground )
1/2 cup of unsalted butter .( You can substitute this with almond butter for a more nuttier taste I suppose )
2 large eggs
3/4 cup of milk* ( the original recipe called for butter milk. Well, I decided to use milk here . Why.. well no buttermilk and seriously, thought milk would be an awesome choice. I used 1% milk of course.)
1 and 3/4 cup of sugar* - I used brown granulated sugar entirely
About 5 medium ripe bananas * mine were pretty spotty brown ( the original recipe calls for 4. But I suppose an additional banana would do no harm )
1 tablespoon baking soda
1 pinch salt
A generous pinch of saffron *( I know I am obsessed with saffron )
A generous pinch of caradamom powder *
1/2 cup of chopped walnuts
1/4 cup of skinned sliced almonds*
A pinch of cinnamon powder *
( Whew, don't let the exhausting list fool you. I just emptied those nuts that were sitting in the pantry. And decided to add in a few flavors to enhance the mix. More like, once I get started, I just cannot get to stop myself from adding a dash of this and dash of that ).
Alright, now that the stage is set, lets get the gooey good stuff going.

Steps:

  • Prep work: Preheat the oven / 350 deg Grease and flour the pans of your choice. the original recipe called for two 8 inch pans. I used one 8 inch round and one 9 inch square pan. Let's get the party started Sift the flour,baking soda and salt together and set aside. Cream the butter,sugar and eggs. Add in the pureed bananas,,cardamom powder ,cinnamon powder and saffron strands. Add in the flour and whip up the gooey mixture. Fold in the walnuts and almonds Let's cook them: Stick those pans in the preheated oven and bake them at 350 deg for 30 min. The results: Holy mackerel ! Honest to goodness yummy light and fluffy and airy goodness in squares and circles. Beautiful brown goodness, perfectly baked and crunchy walnuts. The aroma filled the entire kitchen and brought the oldest scooting down to the kitchen.. all the way form the attic. Texture : Very very soft ( possibly the baking powder in the self rising flour combined with the baking soda, did wonders) and porus. Aroma : Fragrant cardamom and hint of cinnamon with saffron emanating creating the wonderful fusion with bananas. Serve it up..the kids devoured it it warm with the cool combination of whipped cream. Yummy! Verdict: Just awesome !.. And like I always believe, great cooking results is mostly achieved by right combination of ingredients and the freshness of your stock. And of course, the right chemistry !!! http://veggierumblings.wordpress.com/2013/06/13/oh-so-awesome-light-and-fluffy-nutty-banana-cake/

Tips:

  • 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.
  • Measure your ingredients accurately: This is especially important for baking, as even a small difference in the amount of an ingredient can affect the outcome of your cake.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy: This will help to incorporate air into the batter, which will make your cake light and airy.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition: This will help to prevent the batter from curdling.
  • Fold in the flour and baking powder gradually: Be careful not to overmix the batter, as this can make your cake tough.
  • Bake the cake in a preheated oven: This will help to ensure that the cake bakes evenly.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it: This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.

Conclusion:

This moist banana cake is a delicious and easy-to-make treat. It's perfect for any occasion, whether you're hosting a party or just want a sweet snack. With its simple ingredients and straightforward instructions, this cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you have some ripe bananas on hand, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
