Rich Banana Cake recipe
Ingredients
• 2–3 ripe bananas (mashed)
• 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp baking powder
• ½ tsp baking soda
• ½ tsp salt
• ½ cup unsalted butter
• ¾ cup sugar (can reduce to ½ cup if you prefer less sweet)
• 2 eggs
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• ¼ cup milk (optional, for extra softness)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease and line a loaf tin or round cake pan.
Mash bananas in a bowl until smooth.Mix dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl.
Cream butter & sugar together until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, then mix in vanilla.
Combine wet & dry: Add mashed bananas and dry mixture alternately. If the batter feels too thick, mix in milk.
Pour into pan and bake for 45–55 minutes (until a toothpick inserted comes out clean).
Cool completely before slicing.
Tips & Variations
• Add chopped walnuts or chocolate chips for extra flavor.
• Sprinkle a little brown sugar on top before baking for a caramelized crust.
