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)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

Peel the bananas and mash them in a large mixing bowl until smooth.

Step 3

Add the milk, melted butter, granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Whisk together until fully combined and smooth.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 8

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.

Step 9

Optionally, dust the cooled cake with powdered sugar before serving.

Step 10

Slice and serve the cake as is, or pair it with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra treat.
