Step-by-Step Instructions
To start off, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease your 9×13-inch baking pan. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In another bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add in the eggs, one at a time, and mix in the vanilla extract and mashed bananas until well combined. Gradually mix in the dry ingredients, alternating with the buttermilk until everything is beautifully blended. The batter should be thick yet moist and smelling divine!
