Preparation
Step 1
In large bowl, combine eggs, oil and granulated and brown sugars; with electric mixer, beat until smooth and creamy, about 1 minute. Add bananas and beat until blended in, about 30 seconds.
Step 2
In separate bowl, mix together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt; stir in at low speed until blended, about 30 seconds. Pour into greased and floured 8- to 9- inch (20 to 23 cm) square cake pan. Bake in 350F (180C) oven for 40 to 45 minutes or until tester comes out clean.
Use overripe bananas or leftover canned pumpkin or applesauce to make a moist, flavourful cake that can be whipped up in minutes. Use as a snacking cake or quick dessert or for lunchboxes. Frost with a simple buttercream or just dust with icing sugar.
Pumpkin or Applesauce Cake variation: Instead of bananas, use 1 cup (250 mL) canned pumpkin puree or 3/4 cup (175 mL) smooth applesauce. To the flour mixture, add 1 tsp (5 mL) cinnamon and 1/4 tsp (1 mL) each nutmeg, all- spice and ground cloves.
Pumpkin-Gingerbread variation: Instead of bananas, use 1 cup (250 mL) canned pumpkin puree. Instead of brown sugar, use 1/2 cup (125 mL) molasses. To flour mixture, add 2 tsp (10 mL) ground ginger and 1/4 tsp (1 mL) each cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice and ground cloves. Serve warm, with whipped cream. Makes 6 to 8 servings.
