Two Layer Apple Banana Cake

This Two Layer Apple Banana Cake is baked as one. No need to bake the layers separately and then stack them. Cake and apple banana filling go into the baking dish together and you’ll still have a moist  airy delicious cake. And mind you, there is a lot of filling in this cake.

Key Ingredients in This Recipe

• Butter
• Eggs
• All-purpose flour
• Sugar
• Apples – I used the granny smith. My go-to apple for an apple cake/pie. This apple does not mush easily, so the apple slices stay whole and relatively crisp. Something that is a nice contrast with the sweetness of the cake.
• Bananas – use ripe banana, but stay away from the overly ripe ones.

How to Make Two Layer Apple Banana Cake

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Core and peel apples and slice thinly. Transfer to bowl and add cinnamon and 1 tablespoon of sugar. Mix and set aside.
• Peel bananas, mash and mix with lemon juice. Set aside.
• Butter a baking dish (9×9 inches) or spray with cooking spray.
• Melt the butter and add the sugar.
• Separate the eggs and whip the egg white stiff.
• Add the egg yolks to the butter sugar mixture. Then add this mixture to the egg whites as well as the vanilla extract.
• Mix flour, baking powder and salt and add that to the egg mixture.
• Pour half of the batter in baking dish and spread out evenly. Top with apple slices and then spread the banana mash over the apples.
• Cover with remainder of cake batter.
• Place cake in the oven for approx. 50 minutes.
• Mix apricot preserve with 1 tablespoon of water and spread of slightly cooled cake.

I like to make the simple, delicious and attractive cakes and I also make them for two, just me and my husband, so large cakes or pies are simply too much to consume. Even a 9×9 size is too big and half of it will end up in the freezer.
