Decadent Banana Walnut Cake with a Touch of Vanilla
Recipe
Ingredients:
3 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 ripe bananas, mashed
1 cup sugar
½ cup unsalted butter, softened
2 large eggs
1 cup chopped walnuts
½ cup buttermilk
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Mix in the mashed bananas and vanilla extract.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the buttermilk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
Gently fold in the chopped walnuts.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
