Categories     Dessert

Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 cup butter (salted or unsalted, at room temperature)
1 1/2 cups white granulated sugar
2 large eggs (at room temperature, slightly beaten)
1 tsp vanilla extract (or vanilla bean paste)
1 cup ripe banana (mashed)
2 cups all purpose flour (measured with the spoon and level method)
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt (reduce to 1/4 tsp if using salted butter)
1/2 cup milk (whole or 2% milk recommended, at room temperature)

Steps:

  • Take your butter, eggs and milk out of the refrigerator to come to room temperature before starting.
  • Preheat oven to 350F (regular bake/not fan assisted). *Reduce temperature by 25F for glass pans or very dark (black) baking pans.
  • Prepare an 8x8-inch square cake pan or 9-inch round cake pan or springform baking pan (or 9x13-inch pan if doubling the recipe) by spraying with baking spray, cooking spray or by brushing lightly with vegetable oil. If you want to remove the entire cake from the pan easily, line the bottom of the pan with parchment paper. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl with an electric mixer or the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter at medium speed for 1-2 minutes. Reduce speed to medium-low and gradually add the sugar until all the sugar has been added. Break the eggs into a small bowl and beat with a fork slightly. Add eggs to the batter and beat in thoroughly. Scrape down the bowl well and remix briefly. Add mashed banana and vanilla and beat in.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk dry ingredients together the flour, baking soda and salt. With mixer on medium-low, add the flour mixture to batter, alternately with the milk. (That means to add 1/3 of the flour, followed by 1/2 of the milk, the next 1/3 of the flour, the remaining milk and then the remaining flour mixture). Mix just until combined and smooth. (Do not over-mix after adding the flour).
  • Pour batter into prepared pan and smooth and level the top of the batter.
  • Bake at 350F 35-40 minutes (for 8x8 or 9-inch round cakes), or until a tester inserted in the centre of the cake comes out clean. (9x13 may take slightly longer. If doing a 1/2 recipe in a loaf pan, start checking earlier). Baking time will vary, depending on oven and baking pan. Check regularly after 30 minutes of baking. Avoid opening the oven door until you feel that the cake is ready to be tested. It is ready to be tested when it is slightly domed (not concave on top) and evenly golden.
  • Remove cake from oven and allow to cool in the pan completely, or at least 20-25 minutes, before removing from the pan to a wire rack to cool.
  • See below for some optional frosting options. If frosting, ensure that the cake is fully cooled before adding any frosting.

BANANA SNACKING CAKE WITH SALTED CARAMEL GLAZE



Banana Snacking Cake With Salted Caramel Glaze image

This buttery snacking cake is a bit like banana bread, but richer, and topped with a sticky caramel frosting that is dotted with crunchy flakes of sea salt. The frosting, made from brown sugar and heavy cream, is easier than a classic caramel, but just as compelling, with the sea salt contrasting perfectly with its sweetness. It's important to use ripe bananas here. Soft, spotty ones with dark yellow skins will be the sweetest and most complex. Firm, pale yellow bananas just don't have enough intensity to flavor the cake.

Time 1h

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1/2 cup/115 grams unsalted butter (1 stick), melted, plus more for pan
1 1/2 cups/185 grams all-purpose flour
1/4 cup/50 grams granulated sugar
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon fine salt
1 cup/250 grams mashed banana (from 2 to 3 very ripe bananas)
1/4 cup/60 milliliters sour cream
2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 tablespoons/65 grams unsalted butter (1/2 stick), cut into pieces
1/3 packed cup/70 grams dark brown sugar
1/4 cup/60 milliliters heavy cream
Large pinch of fine sea salt
1/4 cup/30 grams confectioners' sugar
Flaky sea salt, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9-by-9-inch pan, and then line with parchment paper, letting the two long ends hang over the edges by at least 2 inches.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together flour, granulated sugar, baking soda and salt. Whisk in bananas, melted butter, sour cream, brown sugar, eggs and vanilla.
  • Scrape into baking pan and smooth the top. Bake until the top springs back when lightly pressed in the center, and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 25 minutes. Let cool completely.
  • When cake is cool, make the glaze: In a medium or large pot (not a small one because the mixture will bubble up), combine butter, brown sugar, heavy cream and salt. Bring to a full boil and continue to boil over medium heat for 1 minute. Remove from heat and let sit for 5 minutes.
  • Whisk in confectioners' sugar until smooth, then immediately pour over cooled cake. Spread evenly across cake and let set for at least 30 minutes. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt before serving.

THE REALTOR'S BANANA SNACK CAKE



The Realtor's Banana Snack Cake image

This is one of my daughter's favorite cakes. It's super moist and sweet enough on it's own that it doesn't need frosting. It's delicious as-is. It was originally from a Pillsbury book but I've made a few very small changes to suit our tastes.

Time 45m

Yield 18 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup butter
1 cup granulated sugar
2 eggs
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup quick-cooking rolled oats (I grind them up in the processor)
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup buttermilk
1 cup ripe mashed banana (2 medium)
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350'.
  • Grease and flour a 13x9 inch pan and set aside (I always spray pan with Baker's Secret).
  • In a medium bowl add flour, oats, baking soda, and salt, mix to blend and set aside.
  • In a large bowl, cream together the butter and the sugar until fluffy.
  • Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  • Mix in buttermilk, bananas, and vanilla. At this point it'll look almost curdled. Just mix it well and ignore that.
  • Add flour mixture to the butter mixture and mix to blend. The batter will be a little thick.
  • Fold in 1 cup of chocolate chips.
  • Pour batter into prepared pan.
  • Bake at 350' for 30-35 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean.

Tips:

  • Properly measure your ingredients: Use a kitchen scale to accurately measure dry ingredients like flour and sugar. This ensures consistent results and prevents the cake from being too dense or too dry.
  • Do not overmix the batter: Overmixing can cause the cake to become tough and dense. Mix just until the ingredients are combined, and be careful not to overbeat the egg whites if you are using them.
  • Use ripe bananas: Ripe bananas add a natural sweetness and moisture to the cake. The browner the bananas, the sweeter the flavor.
  • Toast the nuts (optional): Toasting nuts enhances their flavor and adds a nice crunchy texture to the cake. You can toast nuts in the oven or in a skillet over medium heat.
  • Don't overbake the cake: Check the cake for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, the cake is done. Overbaking can dry out the cake.

Conclusion:

The Realtors' Banana Snack Cake is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. With its moist texture, sweet banana flavor, and crunchy nut topping, this cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
