Ingredients
Scale
- 3 medium to large ripe bananas
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
- Mash the ripe bananas in a large bowl until smooth, leaving some small chunks for added texture.
- Add the melted butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas and mix well.
- Whisk together the flour and baking soda in a separate bowl.
- Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined.
- Transfer the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, frost the cake with cream cheese frosting or enjoy it plain.
Notes
For the moistest cake, use very ripe bananas. Avoid overmixing the batter to keep the cake tender. Let the cake cool completely before frosting.
