Ingredients Method

Ingredients

  

• 3 overripe bananas (about 290g), mashed
• 2 large eggs
• ¾ cup sugar (150g)
• ¾ cup vegetable oil (180ml)
• ⅓ cup milk (80ml)
• 3 tbsp plain yogurt (45g)
• 1 tsp vanilla extract (5ml)
• ½ tsp salt (3g)
• 1½ cups all-purpose flour (190g)
• 1 tsp baking powder (5g)
• 1 tsp baking soda (5g)

Method

 

1. Prepare the Bananas

   Preheat your oven to 170°C (340°F). Mash the overripe bananas until mostly smooth and set aside.

2. Mix the Wet Ingredients

   In a large bowl, beat the eggs, sugar, and oil until light and fluffy. Add the milk, yogurt, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix until well combined.

3. Add the Dry Ingredients

   Sift in the flour, baking powder, and baking soda. Gently mix until just combined and no visible flour remains. Do not overmix, as this can make the cake dense.

4. Add the Bananas

   Fold in the mashed bananas and mix gently until evenly incorporated.

5. Prepare the Pan

   Grease an 8-inch cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper. Pour the banana batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.

6. Bake

   Bake in the preheated oven for 35–40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

7. Cool

   Let the banana cake cool in the pan for a few minutes, then carefully transfer it to a serving plate.

💡 Recipe Tips

• Use very ripe bananas for the sweetest and strongest banana flavor.
• Don’t overmix the batter after adding the flour.
• Check the cake around the 35-minute mark, as oven temperatures can vary.
• Let the cake cool slightly before slicing for cleaner pieces.
