Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 3 large Overripe bananas
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter (melted)
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Whole milk
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x9-inch square baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a separate bowl, mash the overripe bananas until smooth. Add the melted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and milk. Whisk until well combined.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, and mix gently until the batter is smooth and no lumps remain. Do not overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once the cake has fully cooled, use a fine mesh sieve to dust powdered sugar evenly over the top of the cake.
Slice into squares or rectangles, serve, and enjoy!
