Banana Cake

Banana cake is one of my most favorite cakes that i bake most often. It is very moist and flavorful and full of sweetness.

Banana Cake is very versatile whether served with frosting, with added frosting or with added flavors like chocolate chips or spices or just alone, it is always pleasing.

Always use ripe bananas for a flavorful moist cake, the riper the bananas the better the flavor. Use brown sugar for a more depth and moist in the cake.

Banana cakes are usually moist and de se due to the bananas. The flavor of the bananas gives it a shiny texture and pairs well with spices like cinnamon or nutmeg powder.

Depending on the ratio of ingredients used and the method of mixing, your banana cake can be fluffy or slightly dense.
