Equipment
- Mixing bowls (large and small)
- Whisk
- Spatula
- Loaf pan or two 8-inch round cake pans
- Parchment paper
- Toothpick
Ingredients
Dry Ingredients:
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients:
- ¾ cup vegetable oil
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 3 ripe bananas mashed
- ½ cup milk dairy or plant-based
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon apple cider vinegar
Fresh Strawberries:
- 1 cup fresh strawberries hulled and sliced
Instructions
Preheat and Prep:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease your loaf pan or round cake pans. Line the bottom(s) with parchment paper for easy removal.
Whisk the Dry:
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Trust me, a good whisking ensures these dry ingredients are evenly dispersed for a smooth cake.
Combine the Wet:
- In a separate bowl, grab your whisk again and combine the oil, sugar, mashed bananas, milk, vanilla extract, and apple cider vinegar. Get that mixture nice and smooth!
Unite Wet and Dry:
- Now, gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients using a spatula. We want to combine everything without overdoing it. Overmixing can lead to a tough cake, so fold until just combined.
Fold in the Strawberries:
- Gently fold in those beautiful sliced strawberries. Be careful not to smash them, but ensure they’re evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour and Bake:
- Pour the batter into your prepared pan(s). Pop it in the preheated oven and bake for 50-60 minutes for a loaf pan, or 40-45 minutes for round cakes.
- Keep an eye on it! Use a toothpick inserted into the center to check for doneness. It should come out clean.
Cool and Enjoy:
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Then, slice, grab a fork, and savor that deliciousness!
