very super dense banana cake
hey everyone, this is my second time making this banana cake and it came out super dense both times, although the first was way denser than this. after process of elimination, i believe its a problem with the leavening, and i think maybe a tsp of baking soda will help me. possibly the recipe is also too wet/heavy. i also have a suspicion that my pan is part lf the problem. Also, im 99% sure i did not overmix my batter. Thank you i love you all this is very humbling im usually pretty adequate at baking❤️❤️❤️❤️
EXACT RECIPE TO PIC:
3 ripe bananas
1/2 gran sugar
1/2 brown sugar (110g)
1/2 cup butter
1 cup milk + 1 tbs white vinegar (combine while prepping ingredients so it can sit)
2 cups (240g) flour
2 eggs
1 tsp baking soda
vanilla
cinnamon
salt
preheat oven to 350
in a bowl, beat the butter with a whisk until it’s a little light, then add sugars and cream very well, around two minutes
In a separate bowl, mashed the bananas, a bunch until they’re pretty much liquid with a few clumps, then add the banana to the sugar and butter and whisk until fully combined
add in eggs, milk, and vanilla and whisk until fully combined
In another bowl, add all of the dry ingredients and whisk very well so everything is evenly dispersed; add those dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and gently fold until just barely combined
Pour mixture into a grease or lined baking dish and bake for an hour and 15 minutes; after 30 minutes of baking, you should probably place a foil tent over top the cake
