I’ve visited one of Dominique Ansel’s bakeries in NYC
when we visited. I am excited to learn that he has a new cookbook. I tried his
banana bread recipe, which was a big hit in my house!

Ingredients:
·
400g (2
cups) granulated sugar
·
250g (2
cups) AP flour (plus more for dusting)
·
3g (3/4
tsp) baking soda
·
2g (3/4
tsp) ground nutmeg
·
5g (1
tsp) salt
·
5g (1
tsp) baking powder
·
150g (3
large) eggs
·
400g (2
cups, about 3-4) overripe bananas, peeled & mashed (used 4 bananas, ripened
in paper bag)
·
200g (14
tbsp or 1 3/4 sticks) unsalted butter, melted, plus more for greasing
Equipment:
·
loaf pan
·
mixing
bowl
·
spatula
Method:
1.
Preheat
oven to 350°F (175°C). Butter the bottom, sides, and edges of the loaf pan.
Pour in some flour, shake it around until the pan is evenly coated, then tap
out any excess flour. (You can also use parchment paper).
2.
In a
large mixing bowl, mash the bananas with a fork. Add the dry ingredients and
the eggs, and mix with a spatula until well combined. Stir in the melted butter
until fully incorporated.
3.
Pour the
batter in the prepared pan, filling it to 3/4 inch (2 cm) from the top (you may
have extra batter). Bake until the cake is golden brown (about 1 hour) and a
cake tester or paring knife comes out clean. (baked in 2 loaf pans with smaller amount in each for 50-60 min.)
4.
Let the
cake cool in the pan for 15 minutes. While the cake is still warm, turn it out
of the pan. Slice and enjoy while the cake is still warm.
