The best (and easiest) banana cake recipe
The great thing about overly ripe bananas is that you can use them as an excuse to mix up some banana cake (or bread - the term is often used interchangeably). By the way, I wouldn’t bother with a recipe which calls for anything less than 3 bananas - this ensures a dense and moist cake which truly tastes of banana. Eleanor (a family friend from Ottawa) passed this recipe onto my my mother, who passed it onto me, and it is to this day my ultimate banana cake recipe.
In a mixer beat together 1 cup sugar, 1 egg, 1/2 cup softened butter and 1/2 tsp salt. Add 2 tbs milk, 3 mashed bananas, 1 tsp baking powder, and 1 tsp baking soda. Add 1 1/2 cup flour gradually. Pour into a loaf pan and bake for 30 minutes at 180c.
