PREP TIME COOK TIME TOTAL TIME

15 minutes 45 minutes 1 hour

Ingredients
200 g overripe bananas (7 oz)
120 g self-raising flour (4.2 oz), cake flour or all-purpose flour (see Notes)
3/4 - 1 teaspoon baking powder
3 large eggs, room temperature
100 g powdered sugar (3.5 oz)
1 stick unsalted butter, melted (100g or 3.5 oz, I used Challenge brand butter)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 375° F (190° C). Grease a square cake pan

(8" x 8" or 9" x 9") OR a regular loaf pan OR two mini loaf
pans with butter. Line the pan(s) with parchment paper.
2. Mash the overripe bananas in a bowl until fine, set aside.
3. Sift the self raising flour and baking powder. Set aside.
4. Add the eggs into the bowl of a stand mixer. Beat on
medium speed (speed 5) for 1 minute and then increase to
the highest speed (speed 10) for 2 minutes. The egg
should become bubbly and foamy. Add the sugar and beat
on the highest speed for 3 minutes. The egg and sugar
mixture should be foamy, as pictured below.

5. Add the mashed bananas into the egg mixture. Gently stir
2-3 times with a spatula to combine well.
6. Heat the butter in a microwave for 20-30 seconds or until
it melts. Divide flour into 3 parts. Add half of the butter
into the egg mixture, gently fold and stir 2-3 times with a
spatula. Next add 1/3 of the flour, gently fold and stir
around a few times until just incorporated. Add in the
second part of the flour, stir gently to incorporate. Add the
remaining butter, gently stir to mix and finally add the
remaining flour. Make sure the flour is fully dissolve. DO
NOT OVER MIX. Please make sure the batter retains the air
bubbles in the beaten eggs.

7. Pour the banana cake batter into the pan. For the best
results, place the pan on another empty pan before
baking. To avoid the top of the cake from becoming too
brown, cover the top of the pan with aluminum foil after
the cake is set at the top, about 20-25 minutes into
baking.
8. Bake the banana for 40-50 minutes, or until a cake tester
comes out clean in the center. Remove the cake from the
oven, let cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes before cutting
into pieces.

Notes

Please follow the metric measurement of the recipe for

most accurate measurement.

You may use cake flour or all-purpose flour. Increase the

baking powder to 1 teaspoon if you use cake flour or all-
purpose flour.

Make sure you use room temperature eggs. If your eggs are
refrigerated, warm up the eggs in a bowl with warm water.
Leave the egg in the warm water for 5 minutes or until they
are at room temperature. This will make sure that your egg
mixture is light and foamy.

If you use mini loaf pans, bake for about 30-40 minutes.
