Ingredients

Servings

• 2 cup Ripe bananas
• 2 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• ¹⁄₄ teaspoon Salt
• ¹⁄₂ cup Unsalted butter
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 2 Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• ¹⁄₂ cup Milk
• For the syrup:
• ¹⁄₄ cup Unsalted butter
• ¹⁄₂ cup Brown sugar
• ¹⁄₄ cup Water

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
2. In a medium bowl, mash the ripe bananas.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
4. In a large mixing bowl, cream the unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the mashed bananas and vanilla extract.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the banana mixture, alternating with the milk. Mix until just combined.
6. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top.
7. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8. While the cake is baking, prepare the syrup. In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter, brown sugar, and water over medium heat. Bring to a boil and cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
9. Remove the cake from the oven and immediately poke holes all over the top with a skewer or fork. Pour the syrup evenly over the hot cake.
10. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
11. Serve the banana syrup cake as is or with a dollop of whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
