Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x9-inch square baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, mash the overripe bananas until smooth. Add the melted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and milk. Whisk until well combined.
Step 4
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, and mix gently until the batter is smooth and no lumps remain. Do not overmix.
Step 5
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly with a spatula.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 7
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Once the cake has fully cooled, use a fine mesh sieve to dust powdered sugar evenly over the top of the cake.
