Ingredients
- 2 cups All-Purpose Flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
- 1/4 teaspoon Salt
- 1/2 cup HICAPS Buttercream Gold softened
- 3/4 cup Brown Sugar
- 2 pcs Whole Egg large
- 2 1/3 cups Overriped Bananas mashed
- 1 teaspoon Emulco Vanilla Flavor
- 1/2 cup Buttermilk
Instructions
- Preheat Oven & Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and brown sugar together until light and fluffy. This should take about 3-4 minutes.
- Add Eggs & Bananas: Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Blend in the mashed bananas and vanilla extract until thoroughly mixed.
- Combine with Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the banana mixture, alternating with the buttermilk, starting and ending with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.
- Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Smooth the top with a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for 60-65 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool & Serve: Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and serve as is or with a dusting of powdered sugar or frosting of your choice.
Notes
- For an extra touch of flavor, add a half cup of chopped walnuts or chocolate chips to the batter.
- If you don't have buttermilk, you can make a quick substitute by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to a cup of milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
