Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature, plus more for pan
  • 1 cup sifted cake flour, (not self-rising), plus more for pan
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • Pinch of ground cloves
  • 1 very ripe large banana, mashed (about 1/2 cup)
  • 1/4 cup buttermilk
  • 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup firmly packed dark-brown sugar

  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinammon
  • 1/3 cup chopped toasted pecans
  • Confectioners’ sugar, for dusting
  • Sweetened whipped cream, for serving (optional)

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 6-by-2-inch round cake pan. Line bottom with parchment paper; butter, and dust with flour. Set aside. Into a bowl, sift flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and cloves. In another bowl, whisk banana, buttermilk, and vanilla.

In a large bowl, cream butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in egg. Add flour mixture in two batches, alternating with banana mixture. Stir in pecans.

Dust with confectioners’ sugar, and serve with whipped cream if desired.

                I wanted to save this in my folder, but noticed that the "pecan's" are missing from the list of ingredients.  When they are added, I will try this recipe.

                This is delicious! To make it extra yummy I made a kind of streusel layer with butter, oats, brown sugar, and cinnamon,  layered it over half the batter and then spooned the rest over top. It made for a deliciously moist middle! This is definitely a keeper!
