Step 2: Prepare Bananas

  1. Mash Bananas:
    • In a bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth. Set aside.

Step 3: Mix Wet Ingredients

    • Add the melted butter and vanilla extract to the mixture and mix well.

Step 6: Combine Dry and Wet Ingredients

    • Once the cake is completely cool, you can enjoy it plain or dusted with powdered sugar. For extra sweetness, you can also frost it with your favorite frosting or cream cheese frosting.

Tips for Perfect Banana Cake

  • Bananas: Make sure your bananas are very ripe for the best flavor and sweetness.
  • Mixing: Mix the batter just until combined to keep the cake light and tender.
  • Storage: Store leftover cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week.
