Spiced Banana Bread Cake Recipe
Servings: 8-10
Ingredients:
* 3 large ripe bananas, mashed
* 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
* 1 tsp baking powder
* 1/2 tsp baking soda
* 1/2 tsp salt
* 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
* 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
* 1/4 tsp ground cardamom
* 1/4 tsp ground ginger
* 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
* 1 cup granulated sugar
* 2 large eggs
* 1 tsp vanilla extract
* 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
* Confectioners' sugar, for dusting
Optional Add-ins:
* 1 cup chopped dried cranberries or cherries for a fruity twist
* 1/2 cup caramel bits for a sweet and salty surprise
* 1/4 cup espresso powder for a mocha-flavored cake
* 1/4 cup chopped pecans or hazelnuts for added texture
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease two 9-inch (23cm) round cake pans and line the bottoms with parchment paper.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, cardamom, and ginger.
3. In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the mashed bananas and vanilla extract.
4. Gradually mix in the dry ingredients until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
5. Fold in the chopped walnuts, if using.
6. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans and smooth the tops.
7. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
8. Remove the cakes from the oven and let them cool in the pans for 5 minutes.
9. Transfer the cakes to a wire rack to cool completely.
10. Once the cakes are cool, you can dust them with confectioners' sugar and serve. Or, you can sandwich them together with your favorite frosting or glaze for a show-stopping dessert.
