Classic Banana Cake 🍌🍰
Ingredients:
• 3 ripe bananas, mashed
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp baking soda
• ½ tsp baking powder
• ½ tsp salt
• ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• ½ cup buttermilk
Method:
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and lightly flour a 9×13-inch baking pan.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
3. In a separate bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, then mix in the vanilla and mashed bananas.
4. Gradually add the dry ingredients, alternating with the buttermilk. Mix just until combined—do not overmix.
5. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
6. Let the cake cool completely before slicing. Serve plain or topped with cream cheese frosting.
