My Legendary Banana Cake
There are so many different Banana Cake recipes. I had tried four or five different recipes until I tried a Japanese one. I normally don’t like Japanese cake recipes because they always require weighing ingredients. I like measuring by cups.
Anyway I tried the recipe with very well ripe bananas which were nearly black. The result was amazing. Then I altered the recipe so that I don’t have to weigh.
Many friends of mine said it was the best Banana Cake. But you can’t get the same result if the bananas are not ripe enough. You can bake this cake only when you have the almost black bananas that smell nearly fermenting.
So, purchase the bananas prior to the day you bake the cake and let them ripe very very well, OR alternatively you go to a green grocer and check the discount product shelf. I often find quite ripe bananas there.

Ultimate Moist Banana Cake Ultimate Moist Banana Cake
I've tried making lots of different banana cakes, but if I mixed in lots of bananas, the cake would always be too heavy. I tried thinking up a recipe where I could still use lots of bananas but result in a light yet satisfying cake,. I was aiming for something between a genoise and a pound cake. You can definitely taste the banana, but this cake is still soft and moist and has the best balance of any cake I've made until now.I recommend using fully ripened bananas. If the bananas aren't fully ripe then increase the amount of sugar. Even with ripe bananas, this is not very sweet. I also recommend using unsalted butter. After baking, let the cake rest for over half a day for a moister, more delicious flavor. Recipe by Yukiline
