Mother's Day Special – Banana Pistachio Cake | Recipes by The Red Apron Lady

A mother is the one who fills your heart in the first place. Let's celebrate Mother's Day by making our beloved mother a super moist banana pistachio cake! Banana cake is a very simple recipe that can even be done by people with zero experience in baking. In this recipe, Banana Berangan is being used due to its sweeter banana taste compared to other types of banana. You could always substitute pistachio with other kinds of nuts like walnuts, almonds, peanuts et cetera. On the other hand, brown sugar adds to the moisture of the cake. So if you want the cake to be less moist, simply reduce the amount of brown sugar and replace it with white sugar.

 

 

8 pcs of bananas (Berangan)

200g of brown sugar

100g of white sugar

227g of salted butter

5 pcs of eggs

1 tablespoon of vanilla essence

240g of all-purpose flour

2 teaspoons of baking soda

25g of crushed pistachio

 

1. Mash bananas in a bowl, add sugar into the bowl and mix evenly.
2. Add salted butter cubes into the mixture and stir. Then, add beaten eggs and mix evenly. (Note: It is normal when the butter does not melt evenly and becomes butter lumps.)
3. Mix vanilla essence, flour, and baking soda in the bowl. Lastly, add in crushed pistachio.
4. Pour the batter into a butter-brushed loaf pan, and bake in a preheated oven at 177 degrees Celsius for 45 minutes. The batter should produce 2 loaves of super moist banana cake.

 

We wish every beautiful mother in the world, a Happy Mother's Day!
