Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease and line an 8-inch round cake pan with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, mash the bananas until smooth using a fork or potato masher.

Add the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and melted butter to the mashed bananas. Mix well until combined.
Step 4
Crack in the eggs and add the vanilla extract. Whisk everything together until smooth and uniform.

Sift in the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
Step 6
Pour in the milk and stir until the batter is smooth.
Step 7
Transfer the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

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.
