Ingredients

• 3 medium ripe bananas
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter (softened)
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup brown sugar (packed)
• 2 large eggs
• 1.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup buttermilk
• 8 ounces cream cheese (optional, for frosting)
• 0.25 cup unsalted butter (optional, for frosting)
• 2 cups powdered sugar (optional, for frosting)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional, for frosting)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

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

Step 3

In another mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Step 4

In a large bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until fluffy and lightened in color, about 3 minutes.

Step 5

Add the eggs one at a time to the creamed mixture, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 6

Gradually mix in the mashed bananas until evenly incorporated.

Step 7

Alternately add the dry flour mixture and the buttermilk into the wet batter, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Mix just until combined; do not overmix.

Step 8

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

Step 9

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

Step 10

Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.

Step 11

Optional: To make cream cheese frosting, beat the cream cheese and butter together until smooth and creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, and mix until fluffy.

Step 12

Once the cake is completely cooled, spread the frosting over the top, slice, and enjoy!
