Ingredients

• 3 large ripe bananas
• 200 grams granulated sugar
• 115 grams unsalted butter
• 2 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 240 grams all-purpose flour
• 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 120 milliliters whole milk

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease and flour a 9-inch round or square baking pan.

Step 2

Peel the ripe bananas and mash them thoroughly in a medium bowl using a fork or potato masher until smooth.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes with a hand mixer or stand mixer.

Step 4

Beat in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Mix in the vanilla extract.

Step 5

Add the mashed bananas to the wet mixture and mix until combined.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix gently until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 8

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

Step 9

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

Step 10

Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
