Ingredients

• 4 pieces Ripe bananas
• 250 grams All-purpose flour
• 200 grams Granulated sugar
• 150 grams Unsalted butter
• 3 large Eggs
• 60 milliliters Milk
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease and line a 9-inch (23cm) round cake pan with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. Set aside.

Step 3

In another large bowl, cream the unsalted butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

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

Step 5

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

Step 6

Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture in three batches, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients. Mix just until combined; do not overmix.

Step 7

Fold the mashed bananas into the batter gently until evenly distributed.

Step 8

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Step 9

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

Step 10

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.

Step 11

Slice and serve as is, or pair with a dollop of whipped cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce for extra indulgence.
