HOW TO MAKE BANANA CAKE | SANTA 🎅 CLAUS BANANA CAKE

Measure 1.5 cups of all purpose flour and level it off with a knife.

Grease a Santa Claus-shaped pan with melted butter and line it with baking paper to prevent sticking.

Sift the flour and dredge the greased pan with flour, dusting off the excess.

Melt 1/3 cup of butter and set aside.

Crush 3-4 overripe bananas until smooth, using Jamaican cooking bananas if available.

In a bowl, combine 1.5 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon powder with the flour.

In another bowl, cream together 1/2 cup brown sugar and the melted butter until fluffy.

Add 1 egg to the sugar and butter mixture and beat until combined.

Mix in 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract to the mashed bananas.

Fold the banana mixture into the creamed sugar and butter mixture until combined.

Add chopped peanuts or walnuts if desired, and a drop of white rum for flavor.

Check the consistency and add 1 tablespoon of water or juice if needed to lighten the batter.

Pour the batter into the prepared pan and place it in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit on the middle shelf.

Bake for 50-60 minutes, avoiding opening the oven for the first 20-25 minutes to prevent the cake from falling.

After 40 minutes, reduce the oven temperature to 300 degrees Fahrenheit.

Allow the cake to cool for 10 minutes before attempting to turn it out of the pan.

Let the cake cool completely before serving.
