How to Make Soul Food Banana 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; mix well.
  4. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Stir in buttermilk and nuts (if using).
  6. Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  7. Bake for 85 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 inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Enjoy your delicious Soul Food Banana Cake! Consider adding a cream cheese frosting or a simple glaze for an extra touch of sweetness.
