Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and line your cake tin.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large bowl, cream the butter with both sugars until light and fluffy.

Step 4

Add the eggs and vanilla, and whisk to combine.

Step 5

Stir in the mashed bananas, then mix in the milk until well blended.

Step 6

Fold in the dry ingredients gently until just combined - avoid overmixing.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared tin. Tap the tin gently to remove any air pockets.

Step 8

Bake for 55–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 9

Allow to cool in the tin for 10–15 minutes, then transfer to a rack to cool completely.

✅ The darker and riper your bananas, the better the flavor.
✅ If using a loaf tin, avoid overfilling - the batter should reach only 3⁄4 of the way up.
✅ For cupcakes, bake at 180°C for 20–25 minutes.
