Quick Banana Cake Recipes

This one is from Pillsbury-The Complete Book Of Baking. It's always been a reliable source when I needed it. Makes two 9 inch round cakes or one 13x9 inch pan.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

Ingredients

• 1 cups granulated sugar
• 1 cup butter
• 2 eggs
• 1/2 cup buttermilk
• 1 cup mashed bananas
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
• 1 cup rolled oats
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 (6 oz. pckg. semi sweet chocolate chips)
• 1/2 cup chopped nuts

Combine sugar, butter, eggs and mix well;Stir in buttermilk, bananas, and vanilla; blend well.Stir in flour oats baking soda and salt; mix well. Stir in chocolate chips. Spread the batter in pans and sprinkle with chopped nuts if desired. You can also add the nuts to the batter.

Divide the batter evenly between the pans. Smooth the batter level, then spread it slightly from the center to the edges.

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or just until the tops are springy or a cake tester comes out clean.

Cool the cakes in their pans on a rack for 10 minutes. Then invert onto racks.

Pan Prep: I use either a spray oil or Crisco to grease the pans well, followed by a dusting of flour, followed by a layer of parchment paper or waxed paper that has been cut to fit the pan. That's it. No need to re-grease and flour the waxed paper as some cookbooks will ask you to do.
