To create the perfect banana cake, a number of ingredients will be required. The list includes 125 grams of butter or margarine, three-quarters of a cup of powdered sugar, one egg, one teaspoon of vanilla extract, one and a half cups of self-rising flour, two ripe bananas that need to be mashed, a quarter cup of chopped pecans (optional), and half a cup of milk.
Preparation Steps
The first step is to preheat the oven to 170°C. Then, in a saucepan, you need to melt the butter together with the sugar on the stove. After the mixture melts, mix the mashed bananas in a separate bowl. Add the egg to this banana mixture and whisk the resulting mixture. Next, stir in the vanilla extract and self-rising flour, continuing to mix until a uniform batter is obtained.
Finishing the Baking Process
After this, add the milk to the batter and mix until a smooth consistency is achieved. Pour the resulting batter into a greased baking pan and put it in the oven for 40 minutes. It is important to note that after 35 minutes, you should check the readiness of the batter with a toothpick: if it comes out clean, the cake is ready; otherwise, it needs to bake for another 5 minutes.
