Yield Makes one 9-inch cake

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup cake flour (not self-rising), plus more for pan
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Ground cloves
2 very ripe bananas, 1 mashed (1/2 cup), 1 very finely chopped (1/2 cup)
1/4 cup buttermilk
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 ounces (4 tablespoons) unsalted butter, softened, plus more for pan
1/2 cup dark-brown sugar
1 large egg

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 9-inch round cake pan. Line with parchment cut to fit, and butter and flour parchment. Sift flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and a pinch of cloves into a medium bowl. Whisk mashed banana, buttermilk, and vanilla in a small bowl.
  • Beat butter and sugar with a mixer on medium speed until smooth. Add egg, and beat until well combined. Reduce speed to low, and add flour mixture in 2 additions, alternating with banana mixture. Add chopped banana, and beat until well combined. Pour batter into pan, and use a spatula to spread into an even layer.
  • Bake until golden brown and a tester inserted in the center comes out clean, about 20 minutes. Let cake cool in pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Run a knife around edge of pan, and invert pan onto rack. Remove parchment, and flip cake so top side faces up. Let cool completely on wire rack.

This cake is delicious! The only thing I would change is to add a little more cinnamon. Other than that, it's perfect.
