EASY BANANA SPLIT CAKE RECIPES

Steps:

• Pre-heat the oven. Rub some of the butter around the inside of a 1kg/2lb loaf tin or insert a baking liner. Chop the butter into small cubes. Put the butter cubes and sugar into a mixing bowl and beat until pale and creamy. Beat in the vanilla extract. Break the eggs into the bowl, one a time, beating well between each. Add half the flour to the bowl and beat well. Mash the bananas, add these to the bowl and beat again. Add the remaining flour to the bowl and mix it in. Tip the mixture into the prepared tin and smooth the top. Bake for 55–60 minutes. Leave the cake to cool in the tin for 20 minutes then turn it out onto a wire rack to cool.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. Generously spray 2 (8x4-inch) loaf pans with cooking spray; lightly flour pans.
• Select your favorite banana bread recipe variation from those below.
• In large bowl, beat all ingredients above plus ingredients from selected variation below until well mixed. Divide batter evenly between pans.
• Bake 45 to 55 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center of loaves comes out clean and inside of cracks do not look wet. Cool 15 minutes in pans on cooling racks. Remove loaves from pans to cooling racks. Cool completely, about 2 hours, to prevent crumbling when slicing. For easier slicing, store loaves tightly covered 24 hours. Cut with serrated knife, using a light sawing motion.
