Instructions
Banana Cake
- Preheat oven to 300°F. Butter or grease a bundt pan. Sift together flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Mash together ripe bananas and lemon juice. Set aside.
- In an electric mixer, cream together butter, sugar, and brown sugar. Add eggs one at a time. Add vanilla. Add yogurt. Stir in dry ingredients until combined. Stir in banana and lemon juice mixture.
- Evenly spread in a bundt pan. Bake for 65-70 minutes, until golden brown and a toothpick inserted, comes out clean. Immediately place in the freezer for 45 minutes. Remove pan from freezer; take the cake out and place on a cooling rack (or wherever you want it to be when you drizzle ganache).
Nutella Ganache
- In a small saucepan heat heavy cream to just before a simmer. You want the cream to be warm enough to melt the Nutella, but not curdle.Place Nutella in a small bowl. Slowly pour heated cream into Nutella while whisking until combined; whisk in sea salt.Drizzle over cake. Recommended: place cake on a cooling rack that's on top of parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Notes
- Every Banana Cake recipe I've seen has the "freezer trick" - it's said to keep the cake extra moist. I honestly just jumped on the bandwagon with this one, and had the extra time each time I made it, so if you choose not to freeze it after baking - let me know how it turns out!
