Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup unsalted butter softened
  • ½ cup light brown sugar packed
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 4 large eggs room temperature
  • 1 cup ripe bananas mashed
  • cup milk
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350° F. Grease and flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
  • Whisk the flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium-sized bowl and set it aside.
  • With a stand mixer, beat the butter and sugars on high speed until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
  • Turn the speed to medium, and add the vanilla and eggs one at a time. Add the mashed bananas and milk, and mix until combined.
  • Add the dry ingredients and mix just until incorporated.
  • Pour the cake batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 50-55 minutes, until the top is golden and a toothpick comes out clean when inserted into the center.
  • Cool the cake in the pan for 5-10 minutes before carefully removing it and transferring it to a wire rack to finish cooling.
