Instructions
- Position an oven rack in the center and preheat oven to 350°F/ 180°C.
- Grease and line an 8×8 inch (20cm) square or bundt or round pan.
- In a large bowl, with an electric mixer, beat the oil and sugar until well blended, about 3-5 minutes. Add the eggs and vanilla and beat well. Dissolve the baking soda in the buttermilk and add to the mixture. Add the mashed bananas and beat until well blended. Add the flour and mix until combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it out evenly.
- Bake for 45 to 50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Remove from the oven and place the baking pan on a wire rack to cool completely.
- To make the frosting, place the butter and water in a small saucepan and heat to boiling. Pour over the sugar. Stir in the peanut butter until well blended and creamy. Quickly spread the frosting over the cooled cake. Sprinkle some crushed nuts on top.
Notes
- You can also add chopped walnuts and/or chocolate chips to the batter before baking but I suggest to skip the frosting if you want to add chocolate chips as it could be too sweet already.
- This recipe can also be used for making cupcakes. But reduce the baking time to approx. 30 minutes.
- Choose really ripe bananas as they are sweeter and have more flavor, and of course, easier to mash.
- To mash bananas faster and easier, cut one into three parts and put them in a deep bowl or big measuring cup then use your mixer to mash them. If you do not have a mixer, just use a blender.
