Ingredients
1 cup (145 grams) all-purpose flour
1/8 teaspoon baking powder
pinch of baking soda
8 tablespoons (1 stick) (113 grams) unsalted butter, softened
1 1/2 tablespoons (20 grams) olive oil
3/4 cup (150 grams) sugar
4 large eggs
1 extra-ripe medium banana, peeled and mashed
Preparation
Preheat the oven to 325°F. Butter an 8 1/2 x 4 1/2 x 2 1/2-inch loaf pan. Dust
the pan with flour, tapping out the excess.
Sift together the flour, baking
powder, and baking soda.
In the bowl of an electric mixer
fitted with the paddle attachment, mix together the butter, olive oil, and sugar
at low speed. Increase the speed to medium and add the eggs one at a time,
beating well after each addition. Mix in the mashed banana. Add the flour
mixture and mix just until combined. Scrape the batter into the prepared pan,
smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake the cake for 55 to 60 minutes,
until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake
comes out clean. Cool the cake in the pan on a wire rack for 15 minutes. Unmold
the cake and cool completely on the rack. Store in an airtight container at room
temperature for 3 days, 1 week refrigerated, or 2 months frozen.
Makes 8 servings.
