It's been a long time. Unfortunately I have been dealing with even more ankle issues. I had a couple of procedures that seem to be helping. I actually think I'm on the upswing! So that's good.
Yesterday was a rainy day. One of those days when you just want to stay inside. I like to cook on days like that so I made a big pot of chicken and dumplins. While that was simmering away I noticed some ripe bananas in the fruit bowl. I had a box of cake mix in the pantry. I always have pecans in the freezer. You see where I'm going with this.
EASY BANANA NUT CAKE
3 medium sized bananas (the riper the better)
3 eggs
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup chopped pecans
1 box yellow cake mix
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a Bundt pan with non-stick cooking spray. Spray every nook and cranny.
If you don't have a Bundt pan, no worries. Use a 9x13 cake pan, but only spray the bottom of the pan, not the sides. Also you will bake for a shorter amount of time.
Mix bananas, eggs and water well.
Add the cake mix. Mix until well incorporated.
Stir in the chopped pecans.
Pour batter into the greased Bundt pan.
Bake for 39-43 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean (If using a 9x13 pan bake 33-37 minutes). Take it out of the oven and let it sit for about 10 minutes. Then, flip it out of the pan onto a rack to cool completely.
You can leave it upside down for a clean, more professional look.
Or leave it right-side up for a rustic, homemade look. Personally, that's what I like.
You could sprinkle powdered sugar on top when cooled or make a simple glaze by mixing powdered sugar and milk. But I like it plain, as is.
This cake is seriously easy. It's sort of a cross between a cake and a quick bread. Perfect with a cup of coffee or tea! A good recipe to have on hand. Enjoy!
