As I have mentioned in one of my previous posts, I was over 20 when I tried my first carrot cake. I liked it very much. Thus I quickly looked for a good recipe to introduce it to the repertoire of the cakes I baked. Afterwards, I tested many other recipes, I also came up with my own, healthier version. I could almost say that I was a bit obsessed with carrot cakes.
I tried my first banana cake or banana bread probably even later in my life. And I also loved it! Since then it was difficult for me to choose which cake I liked more and which one to bake more often.
If you are also one of these people who can never decide whether a carrot cake or a banana cake is your favourite, hopefully, you will be happy with this solution. Because it is a very successful (and delicious) combination of both of them.
As you could expect this Carrot and Banana Cake is wonderfully moist. The addition of walnut pieces gives it the extra texture. It is just nice to be able to crunch something when you enjoy the cake. Unlike in case of carrot cakes, I didn’t add any spices to the batter. But this cake still has a beautiful vanilla aroma. It is due to the yummy icing made of butter, cream cheese, icing sugar and the vanilla extract. So it makes sense to use the best quality extract you can get.
I must be honest with you; this Carrot and Banana Cake is neither the lightest nor the healthiest. But I do think that there is no harm in enjoying a slice of this beautiful cake occasionally, especially on a cold, autumn or winter afternoon with a cup of good tea or coffee.
