The Best Moist Banana Cake Recipe

Ingredients

• 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking soda
• 1 pinch salt
• 1 cup white sugar
• 0.75 cup light brown sugar
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 2 eggs eggs
• 4 ripe bananas, mashed
• 0.67 cup buttermilk
• 0.5 cup chopped walnuts

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and lightly flour two 8-inch round cake pans to prevent sticking.
2. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set this dry mixture aside for later use.
3. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the white sugar, brown sugar, and softened butter until the mixture is light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then thoroughly mix in the mashed ripe bananas. Gradually add the flour mixture and buttermilk alternately, mixing well after each addition until just combined. Stir in the chopped walnuts. Evenly pour the prepared batter into the two prepared cake pans.
4. Bake in the preheated oven until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean, approximately 30 minutes, or until the cake springs back lightly when gently pressed.
5. Once baked, remove the cake layers from the oven and carefully place them on a damp tea towel or wire rack to cool completely before frosting.
