Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the oven and prepare the cake pan

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch cake pan with butter or cooking spray. You can also line the bottom of the pan with parchment paper for easier removal.

Step 4: Add the eggs and vanilla extract

Add 2 large eggs, one at a time, to the butter and sugar mixture, beating well after each addition. Then, add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and mix well.

Step 5: Add the mashed bananas

Add 3 mashed ripe bananas to the bowl and mix until well combined.

Step 6: Add the dry ingredients and buttermilk

Add the dry ingredients to the bowl in three parts, alternating with 1/2 cup of buttermilk. Mix until just combined after each addition.

Step 7: Pour the batter into the prepared pan

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 8: Bake the cake

Bake the cake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
