• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (163 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9×5 inch loaf pan.

Tips

• For an extra moist cake, use overripe bananas.
• You can substitute 1/2 cup of the mashed bananas with 1/2 cup of chopped pineapple or applesauce.
• To add a bit of spice, stir in 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon or nutmeg to the batter.
• If you don’t have chopped walnuts, you can use another type of nut, such as pecans or almonds.
• Serve banana pound cake with a dusting of powdered sugar or whipped cream.
