Banana Walnut Cake

Banana cake with walnuts is a fragrant dessert that combines the tenderness of ripe bananas and the crunchy texture of nuts. This recipe has roots in Greek cuisine, where natural ingredients and harmonious flavor combinations are traditionally valued. The cake is moist, soft, and slightly caramelized thanks to the bananas and butter, while the walnuts add a rich nutty note and pleasant contrast. It can be served warm with a cup of aromatic coffee or chilled to enjoy an even more pronounced flavor. Ideal for family breakfasts or as a treat for tea. The simplicity of preparation makes this cake a favorite choice for home bakers, and its amazing taste and texture make it indispensable on the table.

Bake at 175 degrees for about an hour. Check readiness with a skewer. If a crust forms but the inside is not ready, you can cover it with foil — shiny side up.

After ensuring the cake is ready, we take it out and let it cool in the mold. Once cooled, we carefully remove it and can enjoy the soft and airy happiness.
