This recipe uses self-rising flour, so you don’t need to add leavening agents like baking soda and the loaf will rise just fine. Self-rising flour is flour already mixed and packaged with a leavening agent, particularly baking powder, as well as salt. The ingredients are already evenly distributed throughout the mixture so you are assured that the loaf will rise perfectly. If you don’t have self-rising flour or can’t obtain it from your local grocery, you can combine a teaspoon of baking powder and a fourth of a teaspoon of salt for every cup of all-purpose flour.

This quick bread recipe is simple and easy to make but there are some considerations to make when making the batter. A crucial rule when making moist and tender banana loaf cake is to never over mix the batter. Only blend the wet and dry ingredients until all the flour is well moistened. Too much mixing will result in dry cake. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients to make mixing easier. You can also use an electric blender but only use the low settings of the blender so as not to over blend the ingredients. Add the bananas last for a good texture. You can use overripe bananas when making this recipe for an enhanced sweetness.
