Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium ripe bananas
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 3 large eggs
- 0.5 cup milk or buttermilk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (optional for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking pan or a similarly-sized round cake pan. Lightly dust with flour and set aside.
Peel the ripe bananas and mash them thoroughly with a fork or potato masher until smooth. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the unsalted butter and both granulated and brown sugars together until the mixture is light and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes using an electric hand mixer or stand mixer.
Add the eggs to the butter-sugar mixture one at a time, beating until fully incorporated. Then, mix in the mashed bananas, milk (or buttermilk), and vanilla extract until smooth.
In another bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients in batches. Mix gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Once baked, remove from the oven and allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Optionally, dust the cooled cake with powdered sugar before serving for a decorative touch.
Slice and serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your homemade Bolo De Banana!
