- 5 ml vanilla extract
- 240 grams all-purpose flour
- 8 grams baking powder
- 5 grams baking soda
- 2 grams salt
- 3 grams ground cinnamon
- 60 ml whole milk
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Grease and flour an 8x8 inch (20x20 cm) square baking pan.
In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth.
Add the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and melted butter to the mashed bananas and mix until well combined.
Stir in the eggs and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined.
Add the whole milk and mix until the batter is smooth and all components are well incorporated.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Cut into squares and serve, or store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
