Why is my banana cake not moist?

Why is my banana cake not moist? – Not Enough Bananas: Bananas not only add flavor but also moisture. Ensure you're using enough ripe bananas as they are moister and sweeter. – Over-mixing the Batter: Over-mixing can develop the gluten in the flour too much, leading to a denser, drier cake. Mix just until the ingredients are combined. – Over-baking: Even a few minutes too long in the oven can dry out a cake. Start checking the cake a few minutes before the recipe's suggested baking time. – Incorrect Measurements: Too much flour or not enough fat can affect the moisture level. Be precise with measurements, especially for the flour and fat components. – Type of Flour: Using a flour with a high gluten content, like bread flour, can make the cake dry. Use cake flour or all-purpose flour instead. – Storage: If the cake is not stored properly, it can dry out quickly. Keep it in an airtight container at room temperature. – Oven Temperature: If your oven runs hot, it might be baking the cake too quickly. Consider checking your oven with an oven thermometer.
