Description

A moist and fluffy banana cake that’s quick and easy to make, perfect for using up ripe bananas.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups mashed ripe bananas (about 3 bananas)
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Mix in the mashed bananas until combined.
  6. Add the dry ingredients to the banana mixture alternately with the buttermilk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
  8. Bake for 30–35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the cake cool in the pan before slicing and serving.
