Ingredients

• 1 package of regular size yellow cake mix
• 1-1/3 cups of mashed ripe bananas (approximately 2 to 3 medium bananas)
• 1/2 cup of toasted, chopped pecans
• 2 teaspoons of Chinese five-spice powder
• 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
• Confectioners’ sugar (for dusting)

Directions

1. Start by preheating your oven to 350°. While it’s heating, grease and flour a 10-inch fluted tube pan to prepare it for baking.
2. Prepare the cake mix batter as directed on the package. As you do so, incorporate the mashed bananas, toasted pecans, Chinese five-spice powder, and ground cinnamon into the batter, mixing until well combined.
3. Once the batter is ready, transfer it to the prepared pan, spreading it evenly. Place the pan in the oven and bake until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, which should take between 43 to 48 minutes.
4. After baking, allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 15 minutes. Then, remove it and transfer it to a wire rack where it can cool completely. Before serving, dust the cake with confectioners’ sugar to add a touch of sweetness and elegance.
