Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pieces ripe bananas
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 2 pieces eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 cup milk
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8x8-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth and set aside.
In another large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes using a hand or stand mixer.
Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract and mashed bananas until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk. Start and end with the dry ingredients, mixing just until incorporated. Do not overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 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 before serving.
Slice and enjoy your yummy easy banana cake! Optional: Dust with powdered sugar or serve with a dollop of whipped cream.
