Description

A deliciously moist cake bursting with rich banana flavor, perfect for any occasion.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 ripe bananas
  • 1/3 cup melted butter
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
  2. Mash the ripe bananas in a mixing bowl until smooth.
  3. Stir the melted butter into the mashed bananas. Then, mix in the sugar, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. Sprinkle the baking soda and pinch of salt over the mixture and stir until incorporated. Add the flour and mix gently until just incorporated.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Use very ripe bananas for natural sweetness and moisture. Avoid over-mixing when adding flour.
