Apple banana cake
Banana bread is one of my favorite things to eat in the morning with my coffee or tea. It pains me to see those overripe bananas sitting on my kitchen counter, but sometimes, I just buy bananas intentionally for making this bread, just waiting for their skin to become speckled with large brown spots. I just enjoy the good taste of bananas and the tenderness of the bread. This time I added slices of apple, another great layer of goodness. Now, I've always made banana bread with butter or oil but this time I wanted to try it this way, I omitted the butter, and it turned out delicious. But if you want your cake to be moist, just add 1/4 cup of oil.
Ingredients:
4/5 ripe bananas
1 3/4 cup flour
½ cup sugar
1/4 cup honey
2 eggs
1 tbsp baking powder
1 tsp cinnamon
pinch of salt
2 golden apples, sliced
honey for drizzling the apples
(1/4 cup of oil if you're using)
Preheat the oven at 400ºF (200ºC). Arrange the apple slices on a baking sheet and drizzle a little bit of honey over them. Bake them for 10-15 mn, until moist and tender. Remove them, then lower the heat to 350ºF (180ºC).
In a large bowl, mash the bananas with the sugar until combined. Add honey, eggs, (and the oil) and beat until combined. Add flour, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, and mix.
Grease a round pan, pour the banana batter into the pan. Arrange a layer of apple slices in an overlapping pattern. Bake for 1h at 350ºF (180ºC).
