Ingredients
 

  • 2 ripe bananas mashed
  • 2 bananas sliced
  • 1 cup Nutella
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 eggs at room temperature
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup 1 stick butter, softened
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Grease and butter a large loaf pan with an 8-cup capacity.
  • Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Position a rack in the center of the oven.
  • Combine the milk and lemon juice in a small bowl and set aside.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and baking powder. Set aside.
  • Using an electric mixer, beat the butter in a large mixing bowl on medium speed until creamy.
  • Add the sugar and mashed bananas and beat for about 20 seconds until combined.
  • Add the eggs, one at a time, beating for about 1 minute. Add the milk mixture and beat for another 20 seconds.
  • Sift the flour mixture over the wet ingredients. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and mix until just incorporated. Do not overmix.
  • Pour half of the cake batter into the prepared loaf pan. Arrange the banana slices evenly over the batter, then spread the Nutella over the banana slices.
  • Pour the remaining batter evenly over the top, covering the banana slices and Nutella.
  • Bake for 50–55 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  • Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan. Carefully invert it onto a serving plate. Dust with powdered sugar, if desired. Slice and enjoy!
