Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large ripe bananas
- 240 ml milk
- 120 grams unsalted butter
- 200 grams granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 250 grams all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.
Peel the bananas and mash them in a large mixing bowl until smooth.
Add the milk, melted butter, granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Whisk together until fully combined and smooth.
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the banana mixture, folding them together with a spatula or mixer on low speed. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into 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.
Optionally, dust the cooled cake with powdered sugar before serving.
Slice and serve the cake as is, or pair it with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra treat.
