Cooking steps for Banana Walnut Cake
- 1Banana Walnut Cake is a divine dessert that combines the sweetness of bananas, which ripen with the crunch of walnuts. It is a very moist and flavourful cake for any occasion.
- 2To begin with, take four medium to large-sized almost ripe or overripe bananas that weigh approximately 300 grams.
- 3The riper bananas are, the sweeter and more flavourful your cake will be.
- 4Begin with peeling the bananas and mashing them in a mixing bowl until they become smooth; they will be your cake base, contributing both moisture and natural sweetness.
- 5In a separate bowl, take 1.5 cups (180 grams) of whole wheat flour along with one teaspoon of baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda, and a pinch of salt.
- 6These dry ingredients are going to raise the cake and give it a light texture while making sure it has a wholesome quality due to whole wheat flour.
- 7Now, with well-mixed dry ingredients, it's time to bring everything together.
- 8Whisk together 1/2 cup of sugar, either regular or organic unrefined cane sugar, about 100 grams, with neutral-flavoured oil-sunflower oil works marvellously for this recipe.
- 9The added mixture combines moisture and richness in the cake, plus a tender crumb.
- 10To this, add one teaspoon of vanilla extract, which will add a lovely, warm, aromatic flavour that pairs with bananas so perfectly.
- 11In a separate mixing bowl, when all the ingredients have been well combined, add the mashed bananas to the wet ingredients and gently stir to incorporate everything well.
- 12Next, you add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture.
- 13Fold in the dry ingredients by sprinkling them over the wet mixture gradually, taking great care to avoid overmixing.
- 14Stir the mixtures just until they are combined; a few small lumps are okay since this will mean that your cake will be moist and fluffy.
- 15For added texture and flavour, it is possible to add ten finely chopped halved walnuts or any dry fruits and nuts of your choice.
- 16The crunch added by the walnuts was quite delightful, and their rich, nutty flavour paired extremely well with sweet bananas.
- 17Once the batter has been prepared, preheat your oven to 180 C (350 F).
- 18Grease a cake pan or line with parchment paper so that the cake will not stick to it.
- 19Pour in the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
- 20Bake in the preheated oven until it is done.
- 21A toothpick should be inserted in the centre; it should be clean. Approximately 40 to 45 minutes.
- 22Keep an eye on the last few minutes of baking; with the aroma of bananas and nuts filling your kitchen, you won't be able to wait! Once the cake is done, please remove it from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to continue cooling completely.
- 23This is the time the cake needs to set.
- 24Once cooled, slice the recipe of Banana Walnut Cake and enjoy it on its own or with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of ice cream for an added treat.
- 25The cake is delicious, of course, but also very nutritious, so it would surely satisfy you for breakfast, mid-afternoon snack, or even dessert.
- 26Its moist texture, combined with the sweetness of the earthy banana flavour and crunch from the walnuts, makes for an exceptionally comforting experience that makes any table warm up.
- 27Be it your loved ones or you, this Banana Walnut Cake will be what makes you a constant favourite in your baking collection!
