Easy and Moist Banana Cake with Oil

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 F and generously grease a 9x13” pan with baking spray. You can make this recipe by hand or by using a hand or stand mixer on medium speed.

Step 2

In a large bowl mash the 1 cup bananas. It's ok if there are little lumps. Add the 3 eggs, 1 cup vegetable oil, and 2 teaspoons vanilla extract and stir to combine. Add the 1 1/2 cups of sugar to combine.

Step 3

In another bowl or over a large piece of parchment paper combine the 2 cups of flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 tsp baking soda and 1/2 tsp salt. Add the mixture to the bowl and mix lightly until combined.

Step 4

Pour the batter into the pan and bake for 30-35 minutes. The cake is done when the edges start to pull away from the sides and the top feels firm when touched.

Step 5

Allow cake to cool at least 10 minutes then invert into a wired rack to cool.

Step 6

Frost with my homemade cream cheese frosting and enjoy!
