How to Make Banana Loaf Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 175°C (fan forced).
  2. Grease and flour a standard 9x5 inch loaf tin.
  3. In a medium bowl, sift together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1 teaspoon baking powder. Set aside.
  4. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter and 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Use a stand mixer or hand mixer.
  5. Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 ½ cups mashed ripe bananas until well combined.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Stir in 2 tablespoons milk.
  7. Pour batter into the prepared loaf tin.
  8. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the cake cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
