Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 3 large Ripe bananas (mashed)
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar (packed)
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter (melted)
• 2 large Eggs
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup Buttermilk
• 1 cup Powdered sugar (for optional glaze)
• 2 tablespoons Milk (for optional glaze)
• 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract (for optional glaze)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your 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, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set this dry mixture aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth. Stir in the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and melted butter until well combined.

Step 4

Beat the eggs into the banana mixture one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.

Step 5

Alternately add the dry mixture and the buttermilk to the wet mixture in three parts, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix gently until just combined—do not overmix.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

Step 8

Let the banana cake cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.

Step 9

For an optional glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cake before serving.
