Ingredients
-
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
-
1 ¼ cups white sugar, divided
-
2 ½ teaspoons baking powder
-
1 teaspoon salt
-
6 eggs, separated, divided
-
¾ cup water
-
½ cup vegetable oil
-
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
-
½ teaspoon cream of tartar
-
2 bananas, mashed
Directions
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
-
Sift flour, 1/2 of the sugar, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl. Add egg yolks, water, oil, and vanilla extract and beat until smooth.
-
Beat egg whites and cream of tartar together in a bowl using an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Continue beating until stiff and shiny peaks form; add remaining sugar and beat until incorporated. Fold egg yolk mixture and bananas into egg white mixture just until blended. Slowly pour batter into a 10-inch tube pan.
-
Bake in the preheated oven until cake springs back when lightly touched, 55 to 65 minutes. Invert pan onto a plate and cool. Loosen edges of cake and remove pan.
Cook's Notes:
Use very ripe bananas for best taste. After mashing bananas, use immediately or the bananas will brown and color the cake.
Use 1 cup sugar instead of 1 1/4 cups for a lighter taste.
