Banana Cake Recipe

Preparation of the ingredients In a large bowl, mix the flour, sugar, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Make sure the dry ingredients are well combined. In a saucepan, melt the butter over low heat until completely liquid. In another container, beat the eggs until well combined. Mash two of the bananas with a fork in a separate bowl.

Preparation of the dough Add the beaten eggs and melted butter to the mashed bananas. Mix well until all the ingredients are perfectly combined. Then gradually incorporate the dry mixture (flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt) into the liquid ingredients. Gently mix until you have a smooth and homogeneous dough. Pour the rum into the dough and mix again to incorporate well.

Preparation of the mold Grease a loaf pan generously to prevent the cake from sticking after baking. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Cut the last banana in half lengthwise and place the two halves on top of the batter. Let the cake rest in the refrigerator for 1 hour to firm up.

Cooking Preheat your oven to 170°C so it is hot when you place the cake inside. Put it in the preheated oven and let it bake for about 1 hour, or until it is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Serve Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool slightly in the pan before unmolding. Enjoy the cake slightly warm to fully appreciate its moist texture and delightful aroma of banana and rum.
