Ingredients

• 3 pieces Overripe bananas
• 250 grams All-purpose flour
• 150 grams Granulated sugar
• 125 grams Unsalted butter (softened)
• 2 pieces Eggs
• 100 ml Buttermilk
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 20 grams Powdered sugar (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Peel and mash the overripe bananas in a bowl until smooth. Set aside.

Step 3

In a separate large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy using a hand mixer or stand mixer.

Step 4

Add the eggs, one at a time, to the butter and sugar mixture, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the buttermilk. Start and finish with the dry ingredients. Mix just until combined; do not overmix.

Step 7

Gently fold in the mashed bananas using a spatula until evenly distributed in the batter.

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 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Step 10

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

Step 11

If desired, dust the top with powdered sugar before serving. Slice and enjoy!
