Let’s guess! a fruit that ripened and rotten too quickly, even if we keep it in the refrigerator, just intervention of time, it turns spotted and ugly from beautiful and iconic golden complexion. Yes, you guess right!! It’s Banana. Remembering that time when I was working in a healthy food delivery service company we bought a cartoon of Banana to give as supplies in the evening would be spotted the next day. 
That is why suppliers and transporters are always puzzling to solve all kinds of a hindrance to transport this fruit. You can see confusion among many people about banana, is a banana a healthy choice or not? But the study shows that Banana has lots of nutritional value like Vitamin B6, Fiber, Potassium, Vitamin C, Magnesium, and Manganese. Banana is a SUPERFOOD if we do not count some negative attention. Moreover, you will be astonished to hear that about 100 billion bananas are consumed each year globally estimated and presented by FAO. I have shared this information with you just to ensure how important the bananas are as our food and main ingredients for Banana Cake.
As I said in the previous recipe of butter cake invention of baking powder and baking soda changes our thinking regarding food preparation, especially in baking. Banana Cake is one of the graces of that invention. In 1930, we noticed a banana cake recipe using the mashed banana as the main ingredients in a cookbook in the USA. From 1930 to 2021, after a long journey, this ubiquitous Banana Cake recipe could be found in thousands of variations now. In the shape of loaf cake, layered cake, fritters, or pancakes. Our Banana Loaf Cake requires Banana Pure or Mashed Banana, Oil or Clarified Butter, Milk, Sugar, Flour and Baking Powder, and Baking Soda. I hope, this very simple, easy recipe will make us happy. Let’s try this delicious recipe and enjoy it.
