FAQ
Can I use regular all-purpose flour instead of self-rising flour?
Yes, you can use all-purpose flour instead of self-rising. Just add baking powder and salt to the mix. For each cup of self-rising flour needed, use 1 cup of all-purpose flour. Add 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon of salt.
How do I know when the cake is done baking?
Pierce the cake’s center with a toothpick or cake tester. If it comes out clean except for a few crumbs, the cake is ready. If batter sticks to it, bake the cake a little longer. Then, test it again.
Can I freeze the banana and walnut cake?
Yes, you can freeze it for up to 3 months. First, tightly wrap the cake in plastic or foil. Next, put it in an airtight container and freeze. When ready to eat, thaw it in the fridge overnight.
Can I replace the walnuts with a different nut?
Sure thing! Try almonds, pecans, or hazelnuts instead of walnuts. Just use the same amount as the recipe suggests. This will bring a new taste and texture to your cake.
Can I make the cake without eggs?
Of course, you can skip the eggs. Try using smashed bananas, applesauce, or yogurt. Use 1/4 cup of any of these per egg needed in your recipe.
How long does the cake stay fresh?
It will stay good for 3-4 days at room temperature in a closed container. If you want it to last longer, keep it in the fridge. It will be fine for up to a week this way.
