May I ask how to make a simple banana cake?

Preparation of ingredients: 3 ripe bananas, unsalted butter softened at room temperature (8 tablespoons), 3/4 cup sugar, 2 eggs, ? cup all-purpose flour, 1 tsp. baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1 cup chopped walnuts, and 1/2 cup sweet raisins.

Making Directions:

1. In a mixing bowl, combine 8 tablespoons of softened butter and 3/4 cup of granulated sugar (or honey, if you want to use honey), and mix them well with a mixer.

2. Peel the bananas and mash them with a fork until you have blended them to a very thick consistency into mashed bananas.

3. Pour the mashed banana into the butter and add two eggs to mix them well.

4. In a bowl, mix the flour, 1 teaspoon of baking soda and 1/2 teaspoon of salt and pour it into the batter that has been mixed.

5. Add 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract, chopped walnuts (walnuts are best toasted in the oven or in a pan for better flavor) and raisins and mix well.

6. Pour the batter into the prepared bread molds, buttering the bottom edges of the molds and sprinkling some floating powder on them to make it easier to release the molds after baking.

7. Preheat oven upper and lower heat 180 degrees, bake 55-60 minutes (oven brands are not the same, the space is not the same heat and time is not the same, we can use a clean toothpick inserted directly into the cake, do not stick to the toothpick can be). Let the banana cake rest in the mold for 10 minutes, and then put aside for cooling demolding, delicious banana cake is ready is not very simple.

Method 1: If your bananas are a little green and you want them to ripen faster, place them on a baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven at 120 degrees Fahrenheit for 15 to 20 minutes, depending on the initial ripeness of the bananas.

For method two, the 24-hour counter method, if you'd rather wait 1 day, you can place a bunch of bananas (don't separate them) in a paper bag, cover them and let them sit at room temperature. The bananas will give off ethylene to ripen themselves, and adding apples to the banana bag will speed up the ripening process.
