Introduction

This cake is very moist and delicious. I think some rum or espresso mixed in might really kick this one up a notch. This cake is very moist and delicious. I think some rum or espresso mixed in might really kick this one up a notch.

Ingredients

    Granulated Sugar, 2 cup
    Butter, unsalted, .50 cup
    Egg Yolk, 2 large
    *Flour, white, 3 cup
    Baking Powder, 2 tsp
    Baking Soda, 1 tsp
    Banana, fresh, 3 medium (7" to 7-7/8" long)
    Vanilla Extract, 1 tsp
    egg white, fresh, 2 large

Tips

Cake pictured is made with 7 minute frosting.


Directions

Combine the sugar and butter and beat on low speed until completely combined.

Add the egg yolks and beat on high speed until the mixture is smooth and fluffy. This is the creaming method. (Follow that link so Jenni can tell you all about why the creaming method works for cakes.)

In a separate bowl, combine the dry ingredients — flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt — and whisk thoroughly. You’ll want the baking soda to be well distributed throughout the flour before adding to the wet ingredients.

Alternate adding dry and wet ingredients (milk), beating each time until it is just incorporated. Start and end with dry.

When you’re done, you should have a nice, soft, fluffy batter.

Now mash the bananas and add them to the batter.

Add the vanilla and beat until combined.

Whip the egg whites until they form stiff peaks, but not so much you dry them out.

Carefully fold the egg whites into the batter, trying not to deflate them too much.

Pour the batter into two or three greased and floured round pans.

Bake at 350° for 35 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out dry.

Frosting not included in calories!

    How much salt and milk should be in the cake? I used 1/2 tsp of salt and 1 cup of milk. It was good but was more like a bread consistency than a cake. - 6/21/20

    O.K.
    I decided to make this because I had all the ingredients on hand. It turned out fairly well despite all the ingredients not being listed. (which also means the calories and nutrient breakdown are incorrect) Salt and milk are mentioned in directions, I used 1/2 tsp and 9 Tbls respectively. - 2/18/19
