Spread the love

Ingredients for 1 servings:

  • 230 g flour
  • 1 ½ tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 155 g butter (soft)
  • 155 g sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 banana(s) (ripe)
  • 80 g powdered sugar
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp water

Instructions

Working time approx. 20 minutes; Total time approx. 20 minutes

Preheat the oven to 180°C and grease a 23×13 cm loaf pan with butter. Mix the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Cream the softened butter with the sugar until creamy, then add the eggs one at a time and mix in. Peel the ripe bananas and mash them with a fork until you have a nice paste. Stir this into the butter mixture. Now add the flour mixture and mix until you have a smooth batter. Pour this into the prepared loaf pan and bake the cake for 50-60 minutes. It’s best to do a skewer test in the center. Remove from the pan and let stand briefly, then turn out of the pan and let cool on a wire rack. For the glaze, mix the powdered sugar with the vanilla extract and the water. It’s best to start with 1 tablespoon of water and then add more water as needed. The glaze should be thick and runny, which is then spread over the cake.
