Step-by-Step Instructions
To kick things off, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This step is super important because a well-preheated oven ensures your cake rises perfectly. In a large mixing bowl, mash your ripe bananas until smooth. I love using a fork for this because it gives me a chance to savor that sweet banana aroma. Next, mix in the sugar and melted butter until well combined. This is where the magic begins! You’ll want a nice, silky texture. (See the next page below to continue steps…)
