Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and line a 20cm x 20cm (8in x 8in) baking pan with baking paper.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth.
Add sugar, melted butter, and egg to the mashed bananas. Mix until well combined.
Sift the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon into the banana mixture. Stir until just combined.
Add the vanilla extract and milk. Stir gently until the batter is smooth and uniform.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
While the slice is baking, prepare the frosting by beating the cream cheese with powdered sugar until smooth and creamy.
Once the banana slice is done, allow it to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
Once the slice is cool, spread the cream cheese frosting evenly over the top.
Cut the banana slice into 12 equal pieces to serve. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge.
