A delightful banana cake recipe that's simple to prepare and perfect for any occasion.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Preheating ensures even baking from the start.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Ensure the butter is at room temperature for easier mixing.
Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the bowl and mix until well combined.
Crack the eggs into a separate bowl first to avoid shell pieces.
Mash the bananas and fold them into the mixture.
Use a fork to mash the bananas for a smoother texture.
Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt, then gradually add to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Do not overmix to keep the cake tender.
Pour the batter into a greased 9x13 inch baking pan, spreading it evenly.
Tap the pan gently on the counter to remove air bubbles.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Check the cake at 30 minutes to avoid overbaking.
Allow the cake to cool completely before slicing and serving.
Cooling helps the cake set and makes slicing easier.
