Banana simple cake recipe

This is a Banana bread recipe from Tyler Florence, you can find it here on Foodnetwork.com. It’s so simple to do and if you use overripe bananas you will have a really flavored banana cake.

Ingredients for simple banana cake:

Preheat oven to 350°F/180°C and lightly grease a loaf pan or any other kind of pan.

In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking soda and salt.

Mash two of the bananas with a fork in a large bowl and add the sugar.

With an electric mixer mix for 3 minutes at high speed, until you have a light and fluffy banana cream.

Add the melted butter, eggs and vanilla and mix well.

Mix in the dry ingredients just until well incorporated.

Mash the remaining two bananas with a fork.

Fold in the mashed bananas and chopped pecans (you can use walnuts too) with a spatula.

Pour the butter into the prepared pan and bake for about 1 hour and 15 minutes (for me 1 hour was just fine). Bake until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Cool the bread in the pan for 10 minutes and than turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

The banana flavor defeated me and I just couldn’t stand it… so I just ate a great warm slice , than waited for the rest of the cake to cool completely.
