Step 1

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

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

Step 6

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk. Start and end with the dry ingredients.

Step 7

Fold in the mashed bananas gently until the batter is fully combined.

Step 8

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 9

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

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