Weekend Venture Series: Recipe for Banana Cake

This is a follow up post to my Banana - Almond Cake. I tweaked the original recipe taken from Simply Recipes. I will post the original and my twist to it. You can follow any one or modify as you like it. There is no limit to creativity !

Original Recipe from Elise:

Ingredients:

3 or 4 ripe bananas, smashed
1/3 cup melted butter
1 cup sugar (can easily reduce to 3/4 cup)
1 egg, beaten1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon baking soda
Pinch of salt
1 1/2 cup of flour (Maida)

Method

No need for a mixer for this recipe. Preheat the oven to 350°F. With a wooden spoon, mix butter into the mashed bananas in a large mixing bowl. Mix in the sugar, egg, and vanilla. Sprinkle the baking soda and salt over the mixture and mix in. Add the flour last, mix. Pour mixture into a buttered 4x8 inch loaf pan. Bake for 1 hour. Cool on a rack. Remove from pan and slice to serve.

My little twist to the above:

Ingredients:

3 or 4 ripe bananas, smashed
1/3 cup Almond Butter (or Canola Oil if you don't get or like Almond Butter)
3/4 cup Brown Sugar
No eggs
Cardomom powder - 1/2 tsp
1 teaspoon baking soda
Pinch of salt
1 1/2 cup of Multi grain Pancake Flour or You can also use Whole grain pastry flour

You can also crush some nuts like almonds or raisins and add to the cake batter before baking.

Follow the same method stated above.

Hope you enjoy your cake !
