An Easy Banana Cake Recipe Anyone Can Make

Anyone who knows how to make pancakes can prepare this easy banana cake recipe and surprise the family with a tasty treat. The recipe calls for just a handful of ingredients and most are readily available in any household. Even beginning bakers will have no trouble making this delicious dessert.

Assemble the following ingredients:

2-4 ripe bananas
2 cups of self-rising flour
1 cup of sugar
1 cup of butter
1 egg

Directions:

1. Place the butter and sugar into a large bowl and mix together well.

2. Add flour and egg to the sugar mixture and blend.

3. Mash the bananas in a separate bowl or cut them into very thin slices. Blend the prepared bananas into the flour, egg and sugar mixture.

4. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit or 180 degrees Centigrade.

5. Pour cake batter into any shape baking pan. Put the pan into the oven and set the timer for 45 minutes. Take a skewer or toothpick and stick into the middle of the cake. The cake is completely baked when the skewer comes out of the cake with no batter stuck to it.

The cake will last several days if stored properly. The best way to store a cake is in a plastic container with an airtight lid. Do not store the cake while it is still hot or warm because it will become soggy. When the cake is completely cool, place it in the container and keep it in a cool, dry place in the kitchen. Anytime you want a piece, simply pop the top and cut off a piece.

The cake may be frozen and consumed at a later date. It will be unpalatable straight from the freezer. Allow ample time for the cake to thaw out and it will be better. Another way to prepare this cake is to heat it up in the microwave and serve it warm.
