How to Make Jamaica Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
  3. In a separate bowl, mash bananas. Add eggs, oil, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas; mix well.
  4. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Gradually add milk while stirring until batter is smooth.
  6. Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  7. Bake for 60-70 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature. Even better the next day!
