Banana Cake with Walnuts and Brown Butter Frosting
Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
-
In a medium bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
-
In a large mixing bowl, cream the unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the mashed bananas and vanilla extract.
-
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the banana mixture, alternating with sour cream. Fold in the chopped walnuts.
-
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
While the cake is baking, prepare the brown butter frosting. In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Cook until the butter turns golden brown and has a nutty aroma. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
-
In a mixing bowl, combine the browned butter, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk. Beat until smooth and creamy.
-
Once the cake has cooled, spread the brown butter frosting evenly over the top. Decorate with additional chopped walnuts if desired.
-
Allow the frosting to set for at least 30 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
