  • Dry ingredients for a banana cake in a bowl.
    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.
  • Banana cake batter in a 9x13 pan.
    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.
  • Allow cake to cool at least 10 minutes then invert into a wired rack to cool.
  • Banana sheet cake topped with cream cheese frosting and cut into 4 pieces.
