No-Bowl Banana Nut Cake

Category: Baked Goods

SERVES 9

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda 1/8 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup chopped pecans or walnuts
2/3 cup mashed very ripe banana
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1/3 cup buttermilk, room temperature
2 large eggs, room temperature

Put flour, sugar, baking powder, soda, salt and nuts into an ungreased 8 or 9 inch square pan and stir around with a fork to mix well.

Measure milk into a measuring cup and beat eggs in lightly with a fork. Add to pan along with bananas and oil. Stir around with the fork until blended and dry ingredients are all incorporated. Use a rubber spatula to scrape any ingredients clinging to sides, in corners or on bottom of pan into the batter and even batter out in the pan.

Bake at 350 F for 30 to 35 minutes until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean.

Cool in the pan on a rack. Makes 9 servings.
