Ingredients

Scale
  • 3–4 ripe bananas, speckled brown
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour, sifted
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup nuts (optional), chopped and toasted

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Grease and flour a 9×13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, mash your ripe bananas until smooth.
  4. In another bowl, beat together softened unsalted butter and granulated sugar using an electric mixer until light and fluffy—about 3-5 minutes.
  5. Add in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  6. Pour in vanilla extract and mix until everything is combined into a luscious batter.
  7. In yet another bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
  8. Gradually fold the dry mixture into the wet ingredients along with the mashed bananas until just combined.
  9. Pour the batter into your prepared baking pan and smooth out the top.
  10. Bake in preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  11. Let cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack.

Notes

Store banana cake in an airtight container.

Reheat slices briefly in microwave.

Serve with whipped cream topping.
