Anyone who thinks that banana bread qualifies as actual bread is kidding themselves. Banana bread is, without a doubt, a form of cake. This noble recipe is groundbreakingly, unabashedly honest about what it is and so is baked in a cake pan, further accentuating its true identity.
Also, I don’t own a loaf pan, so there’s that too.
- ingredients
- 1/2 cup sugar Pantry
- 1/2 stick unsalted butter at room temperature, plus more for pan $1 for a stick
- 1 egg $1.50 for 6
- 1/8 cup milk $1.50 for a pint
- 2 ripe bananas, smashed with the back of a fork $0.50
- ground cinnamon $1.50 for 1 oz.
- 1 cup flour Pantry
- 1/2 tsp baking powder Pantry
- 1/2 tsp baking soda Pantry
- 1/2 tsp salt Pantry
- 2 tbsp honey Pantry
Total Cost of Ingredients $6
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly butter an 8” round or square cake pan. Set aside.
Whisk together the sugar and butter until fluffy. Whisk in egg, milk, bananas, 1/2 tsp cinnamon, flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Continue stirring until batter has been fully incorporated.
Scoop out about 1/3 cup batter and transfer to a small bowl. Use a rubber spatula to scrape the remaining batter into the prepared pan.
Whisk reserved 1/3 cup batter with honey and 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon. It should be dark brown in color.
Use a spoon to drizzle the dark batter in a spiral over the regular batter. Drag the blade of a butter knife over the batter to create a swirly, marbled look.
Bake for 22-26 minutes, or until a knife or toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Let cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
Serves 6-8.

I made this yesterday and it was DELICIOUS. I kept checking on it and pulled it out of the oven at the perfect time (about 20 minutes in my oven) and it was moist and flavorful! I also made a glaze and put it on top afterwords to make it even more decadent!
