Duncan Hines Banana Nut Cake
Ingredients:
– 2 ripe bananas, mashed
– 2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1 teaspoon baking soda
– 1 teaspoon baking powder
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
– 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
– 1 cup granulated sugar
– 2 large eggs
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1/2 cup buttermilk
– 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking pan or two 9-inch round cake pans.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon until well combined. Set aside.
3. In a separate large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy using a hand mixer or stand mixer.
4. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the mashed bananas and vanilla extract until incorporated.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the buttermilk, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
6. Fold in the chopped nuts gently into the batter.
7. Pour the batter into the prepared pan(s) and spread it evenly.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes for round pans or 35-40 minutes for a rectangular pan, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
9. Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
10. Once cooled, slice the cake into squares or wedges and serve with a dollop of whipped cream or a sprinkle of powdered sugar for an extra touch of sweetness.
