Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for the Perfect Mocha Banana Cake
- For extra moisture, add a tablespoon of applesauce to the batter.
- If your bananas aren't very ripe, add a pinch of baking powder along with the baking soda for better leavening.
- To check for doneness, gently press the center of the cake; it should spring back slightly.
- Allow the cake to cool completely before cutting to prevent it from crumbling. A cooling rack is ideal.
