How to Make Banana Cake
- Preheat oven to 325-350°F (160-175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
- Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened butter and 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 3 large eggs, one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with 1 cup milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- Mash 3-4 very ripe bananas (about 1 ½ cups mashed) in a separate bowl. Add ½ teaspoon baking soda to the mashed bananas and stir to combine. Let sit for 5 minutes.
- Gently fold the banana mixture into the batter.
- Stir in 1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional).
- Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
