BANANA LOAF CAKE I



Banana Loaf Cake I image

This recipe is a family favorite. It is great for using overripe bananas. I usually double the recipe and make two loaves. You can also add walnuts if you wish. Note: When your bananas are overripe, you can put them in the freezer until you are ready to use them.

HABANERO HONEY SWEET CORN CAKE



Habanero Honey Sweet Corn Cake image

This habanero honey sweet corn cake is spicy, sweet, savory, dense, moist, and very addictive! I also had no idea what to call this, as it's not really a cake, but it's also not a pie, or a pudding, or a custard, so I ended up with "cake" since it's inspired by sweet Mexican corn cake. No matter what you call this, it's phenomenal! Garnish with fresh fruit and top with crème fraiche, sour cream, Mexican crema, or whipped cream and freshly grated lime zest.

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your banana bread will be.
  • Mash the bananas well: Make sure to mash the bananas until they are completely smooth. This will help to ensure that the banana bread is evenly textured.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can make the banana bread tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the banana bread at the right temperature: The ideal baking temperature for banana bread is 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Baking at a higher temperature can cause the banana bread to overcook and become dry.
  • Let the banana bread cool completely before slicing: This will help to prevent the banana bread from crumbling.

Conclusion:

Banana bread is a delicious and easy-to-make snack cake that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is a great way to use up ripe bananas and is a perfect treat for breakfast, lunch, or a snack. With so many different variations of banana bread, there is sure to be a recipe that everyone will enjoy.
