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)

Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

Peel the ripe bananas and mash them thoroughly with a fork or potato masher until smooth. Set aside.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

In another bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt.

Step 6

Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients in batches. Mix gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

Step 9

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.

Step 10

Optionally, dust the cooled cake with powdered sugar before serving for a decorative touch.

Step 11

Slice and serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your homemade Bolo De Banana!
