Cook time: 35 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 16 servings
Cuisine: Southern
Ingredients: 0.25 teaspoon baking powder; 0.5 teaspoon baking soda; 2 bananas; 1 cup buttermilk; 2 eggs; 1.5 cups flour; 1.125 cups sugar; 1 teaspoon vanilla; 2 tablespoons vegetable oil; 0.25 cup walnuts

This banana walnut cake is a one-bowl affair, bringing together all the ingredients for a quick batter. Ripe bananas lend their sweetness and moisture, while walnuts add a welcome crunch. Buttermilk ensures a tender crumb, baking up with a lovely browned top. It's sweet enough on its own, so feel free to skip the frosting.
