Description
A deliciously moist banana cake made without a mixer, perfect for any family gathering.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3–4 ripe bananas
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar (or brown sugar)
- ⅓ cup oil (or melted butter)
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a standard 9×13-inch baking pan or line with parchment paper.
- Mash the ripe bananas in a large mixing bowl until smooth.
- Mix in the sugar, oil, and eggs until well combined.
- Combine the dry ingredients in a separate bowl: flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.

- Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Ensure bananas are overripe for the best sweetness and flavor. Don’t overmix the batter to avoid a dense texture.
