Banana Cake

the best solution for overripe bananas

// vegetarian // 60min

tools

• Large baking pan (9x13in)
  • Can also make muffins, multiple batches, or a fractional recipe if you don’t have this exact size. I do not recommend using a loaf pan, it’s too deep and might come out dry.
• Oven
• Small and large mixing bowls
• Spatula
• Large mixing bowl
• Medium mixing bowl
• Blender (optional)

steps

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Mash bananas and pineapples together in a small bowl.
3. In a large bowl, mix all dry ingredients together.`
4. In a medium bowl, mix all wet ingredients together.
5. Add all wet ingredients into the big bowl, and mix.
6. Add optional ingredients if desired.
7. Bake 40 minutes.1

ingredients

dry

• 3 cups flour
• 1 cup sugar 2
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp baking soda 3
• 1 tsp cinnamon

wet

• about half a can of 20oz crushed pineapple (with juice)
• 2 tsp vanilla
• 2-3 ripe bananas, mashed
• 1 1/3 cup canola oil
• 3 eggs

optional addons

• chocolate chips
• chopped pecans or other nuts
  • Don’t want to chop nuts? pulse in a blender for 0.5s

troubleshooting

1. you will know it’s done if you stick a knife/fork/toothpick in the middle, and it comes out clean.
2. my sweetness preference is on the low end. if you like sweet things, add an extra 1/3 to 1/2 cup sugar.
3. didn’t rise? your baking soda might be dead, buy a new box.

pairings

• banana cake + vanilla ice cream
• honestly great just by itself
