Equipment Needed

Step-by-Step Instructions
To get started, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease your 9×13-inch baking pan. In a large mixing bowl, I cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until it’s light and fluffy. The smell of the butter mingling with sugar is simply heavenly! Next, add in the mashed bananas, eggs, and vanilla extract, and mix until well combined. The batter might be a bit lumpy, but trust me, that’s the charm of banana bread cake! (See the next page below to continue steps…)
