This Banana Cake recipe is made with oil and easy to make and a great way to use those spotted bananas! With these step-by-step instructions, you'll bake an incredibly moist and indulgently sweet banana cake from scratch. Finished with a luscious layer of cream cheese frosting, this cake will surely be a hit wherever it's served!
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.
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.
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.
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.
