Ingredients

• 3 large ripe bananas
• 4 large eggs
• 1 cup sugar
• 0.5 cup vegetable oil
• 1 cup cake meal (matzo meal)
• 0.5 cup potato starch
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round or square cake pan. Line the bottom with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth. Ensure there are no large chunks remaining.

Step 3

Add the eggs, sugar, and vegetable oil to the mashed bananas. Whisk together until well blended and slightly frothy.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, sift together the cake meal, potato starch, ground cinnamon, baking soda, and salt.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Stir in the vanilla extract until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread it out evenly with a spatula.

Step 8

Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

Step 9

Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Serve the cake plain, or dust it with a little powdered sugar for an extra touch.
