Delicious Banana Cake Made the Easy Way

Banana cake has been around for a long time and is loved by older and younger generations alike. Today MK Unigroup shares an easy, inexpensive way to make banana cake for anyone who would like to try. Let's look at the types and how to make them.

Banana cake, known in English as banana bread, is a long-established treat with a classic shape, baked in a loaf tin or sandwich-bread tin and full of the aroma of ripe bananas. It is easy to make, needs few ingredients and little time. If you have leftover bananas, don't throw them away; turn them into banana cake instead.

Banana cake has been popular since our grandparents' time and is still loved today. Older people often enjoy it because many don't like creamy cakes. But that doesn't mean younger people don't like it; it may look old-fashioned, but they love it too. It is one of the easiest cakes to make and can even become a source of extra income.

Two Types of Banana Cake

There are many banana cake recipes on various websites, but they fall into roughly two types: those made with vegetable oil and those made with butter. Each recipe has its own steps and method.

1. Banana cake with vegetable oil is the most popular type because it is quick and easy. Simply mix eggs, vegetable oil, mashed banana, vinegar (or lime juice), sugar and salt until combined, then finally mix in the flour and bake.

2. Butter banana cake is made less often because it costs more and takes longer, and its texture is denser than the oil version. The method is similar: cream the butter, sugar and salt until pale and fluffy, mix in the eggs and the mashed banana with vinegar, and finish by adding the flour.

Banana cake usually has no added flavouring, because bananas are already very fragrant, although some recipes add vanilla for a mellower taste. Let's see the ingredients and steps.

Banana Cake Ingredients

1. 2 eggs
2. 2 bananas
3. 4 tbsp oats
4. Baking powder
5. Salt
6. Sugar

How to Make Banana Cake

1. Mix the oats, baking powder, salt and sugar together.
2. Mash the bananas. Separate the egg yolks from the whites and add only the yolks, mixing well.
3. Whisk the egg whites until smooth, then fold in the flour mixture you prepared earlier.
4. When the batter is smooth, soft and fluffy, pour it into a rice cooker.
5. Press "cook" and wait until it finishes. Leave the cake to rest for about 10 minutes, then press "cook" again. Repeat 3 to 4 times.
6. After 3 to 4 cooking cycles, your banana cake is done and ready to eat.
