Cinnamon Banana Bread Cake Recipe
Servings: 12-15 slices
Ingredients:
* 3 large ripe bananas, mashed
* 1 1/2 cups (190g) all-purpose flour
* 1 tsp baking powder
* 1 tsp baking soda
* 1 tsp ground cinnamon
* 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
* 1/4 tsp salt
* 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
* 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened
* 2 large eggs
* 1/2 cup (120ml) buttermilk
* 1 tsp vanilla extract
* 1/2 cup (60g) chopped walnuts (optional)
* Confectioners' sugar, for dusting (optional)
Variation Ingredients:
* Chocolate chips (dark, semi-sweet, or milk) for a chocolatey twist
* Diced apples or applesauce for added texture and flavor
* Coconut flakes or shredded coconut for a tropical twist
* Caramel bits or dulce de leche for a sweet and salty combination
* Orange or lemon zest for a burst of citrus flavor
* Espresso powder for a mocha kick
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease a 9×5-inch (23x13cm) loaf pan and set it aside.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Set aside.
3. In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together sugar and butter until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
4. Beat in eggs one at a time, followed by mashed bananas and vanilla extract.
5. With the mixer on low speed, gradually add the flour mixture and buttermilk, alternating between the two and beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Beat just until combined.
6. Fold in chopped walnuts (if using).
7. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
8. Bake for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
9. Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Cook Time: 55-60 minutes

Tips and Variations:
* For a streusel topping, mix 1/4 cup (30g) brown sugar, 1/2 cup (60g) chopped pecans, and 1/4 cup (60g) all-purpose flour. Sprinkle over the batter before baking.
* For a glaze, whisk together 1 cup (200g) powdered sugar, 2 tbsp (30g) milk, and 1 tsp vanilla extract. Drizzle over the cooled cake.
* To freeze, let the cake cool completely and wrap tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil. Thaw overnight at room temperature before serving.
