Ingredients

• 1/2 cup margarine or butter (can also substitute 1/2 cup canola oil but then you need to use the Dense Cake Method to prepare the recipe)
• 1 cup sugar
• 2 cups sifted flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 2 eggs
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 3 large bananas (mashed)
• 1/2 cup chopped nuts (or 2/3 cup chocolate chips - we like white chocolate best with the banana)

Step 2: (pick one method)

Fluffy Method
Cream butter and sugar, add eggs one at a time, beating. Add mashed bananas and beat well. Sift flour, soda, salt and add to bananas-sugar-butter mixture...mix well.

Dense Cake Method
For shortcut: You may melt butter and add mashed bananas to well-beaten eggs. Sift dry ingredients and mix well. Makes a more compact cake.

Step 3: Stir in nuts. Pour into prepared pan. Bake at 350 for 55 to 60 minutes, until a thin stick inserted into the middle comes out mostly clean, with only a few moist crumbs clinging to it.

Tip for cutting: Let the cake cool completely before cutting. It will hang together much better. Warm cake falls apart. - 2004.07.20
