Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease and line a 9-inch (23cm) round cake pan with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. Set aside.
In another large bowl, cream the unsalted butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture in three batches, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients. Mix just until combined; do not overmix.
Fold the mashed bananas into the batter gently until evenly distributed.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
Slice and serve as is, or pair with a dollop of whipped cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce for extra indulgence.
