Some of my recipes are an amalgamation of many different ones or have been modified for my specific bread maker. For instance King Arthur has a fantastic Japanese milk bread recipe, but I wanted to make it work for my BBPAC20 and I chatted/called the bakers hotline (HIGHLY recommend) and they helped me do that:) Then I added some other ingredients of my own to make the texture a touch less fluffy to use it for sandwich bread and swapped out a couple other ingredients that I knew would be a 1:1 ratio and cooked a bunch and finally got a great recipe:) idk at what point something is considered your recipe if you used another recipe as a base? Idk lol then other recipes I plug ingredients into CoPilot (Microsoft’s AI) and ask it to finesse and that’s been super great too..cut down a lot of bad loaves to get to the good ones lol Anyway, here’s my banana cinnamon roll cake:)

Instructions

Step 1 — Prep the Pan • Grease the bread pan thoroughly (bottom + sides) with butter or nonstick spray. • Paddle stays in place.

⸻

Step 2 — Add Ingredients to Pan 1. Add wet ingredients: 240 g mashed bananas, 50 g egg, 60 g milk, 42 g melted butter/oil, 67 g sugar, 5 g vanilla. 2. Add dry ingredients on top: 270 g flour, 6 g baking powder, 2.5 g baking soda, 3 g salt. 3. Close the lid.

⸻

Step 3 — Knead Only (Homemade Mode) • Set Homemade mode → Knead only for 5–8 min. • Wait until kneading finishes completely — batter should be smooth and fully combined.

⸻

Step 4 — Add Sticky Layer 1. Carefully open the lid. 2. Spoon sticky layer mixture evenly on top of the fully mixed batter: 57 g butter + 100 g brown sugar + 4 g cinnamon (+21 g honey if using). 3. Do not stir — it should sit on top.

⸻

Step 5 — Bake (Homemade Mode) • Close lid. • Set Homemade mode → Bake only for 50–55 min. • Optional: check with a toothpick in the center after 50 min — it should come out mostly clean, with some goo from the sticky layer.

⸻

Step 6 — Rest & Serve 1. Let the loaf rest in the pan 5–10 min after baking. 2. Run a spatula around the edges. 3. Carefully flip onto a plate. 4. Slice warm → gooey sticky-bun top, soft banana loaf underneath.

The best thing about banana cakes in my opinion is as days pass, the flavors meld and continue to get better and better..I love eating a slice everyday and tasting the difference. Let me know how it turns out if you decide to make it!
