BANANA SNACK CAKE

Steps:

• Take your butter, eggs and milk out of the refrigerator to come to room temperature before starting.
• Preheat oven to 350F (regular bake/not fan assisted). *Reduce temperature by 25F for glass pans or very dark (black) baking pans.
• Prepare an 8x8-inch square cake pan or 9-inch round cake pan or springform baking pan (or 9x13-inch pan if doubling the recipe) by spraying with baking spray, cooking spray or by brushing lightly with vegetable oil. If you want to remove the entire cake from the pan easily, line the bottom of the pan with parchment paper. Set aside.
• In a large bowl with an electric mixer or the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter at medium speed for 1-2 minutes. Reduce speed to medium-low and gradually add the sugar until all the sugar has been added. Break the eggs into a small bowl and beat with a fork slightly. Add eggs to the batter and beat in thoroughly. Scrape down the bowl well and remix briefly. Add mashed banana and vanilla and beat in.
• In a medium bowl, whisk dry ingredients together the flour, baking soda and salt. With mixer on medium-low, add the flour mixture to batter, alternately with the milk. (That means to add 1/3 of the flour, followed by 1/2 of the milk, the next 1/3 of the flour, the remaining milk and then the remaining flour mixture). Mix just until combined and smooth. (Do not over-mix after adding the flour).
• Pour batter into prepared pan and smooth and level the top of the batter.
• Bake at 350F 35-40 minutes (for 8x8 or 9-inch round cakes), or until a tester inserted in the centre of the cake comes out clean. (9x13 may take slightly longer. If doing a 1/2 recipe in a loaf pan, start checking earlier). Baking time will vary, depending on oven and baking pan. Check regularly after 30 minutes of baking. Avoid opening the oven door until you feel that the cake is ready to be tested. It is ready to be tested when it is slightly domed (not concave on top) and evenly golden.
• Remove cake from oven and allow to cool in the pan completely, or at least 20-25 minutes, before removing from the pan to a wire rack to cool.
• See below for some optional frosting options. If frosting, ensure that the cake is fully cooled before adding any frosting.
