Banana Cake Omani Style With Variations Recipes

BANANA CAKE (WITH CAKE MIX!)

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease a 9x13-inch or disposable foil pan with oil or butter.
• In a large bowl, beat together bananas and eggs with an electric mixer at medium speed until the bananas are mashed, about 1 minute.
• Reduce the mixer speed to low and pour the melted butter. Increase speed to medium and beat in the cake mix and milk until combined, about 2 minutes.
• Pour the batter into the greased pan. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes or until the cake is firm in the center.
• Let the banana cake cool completely in the pan.
• Meanwhile, prepare the frosting. In a small saucepan over medium-high heat, mix together the sugar, milk, and butter. Bring to a full boil, stirring constantly with a whisk.
• Remove from heat and mix in the powdered sugar until completely dissolved.
• Pour the frosting over the cooled cake. Let the frosting cool completely before slicing. Enjoy!
• Note: The recipe yields a thin frosting. Double it for more!
