Banana Cake for Tu Bishvat | My Jewish Learning

Step 1

In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and your mixture of dried fruits, nuts and chocolate. Set aside.

Step 2

In a large bowl, mix together the sugar, mashed banana, vanilla, eggs. Stir in the melted butter and the buttermilk, mix well. Stir in the dry ingredients and mix well.

Step 3

Butter your cake pan and dust with flour. I have successfully used both a 10 inch bunt pan and a 10 inch springform pan - the difference is mostly stylistic. Pour the batter in and bake at 350F for about an hour or until a toothpick comes out clean.
