This is a fantastic, very moist, and the best banana cake that you can whip up from scratch. Serve this for breakfast, brunch, even dessert. I fell in love with this easy recipe, and this has been my go-to for years! This banana cake has a texture of a pound cake with an ultra-moist bite because of the mashed bananas.

• 2 medium eggs lightly beaten

Step 3: Mash the bananas using a potato masher or fork.

Step 4: Combine the sieved flour with salt, bicarbonate soda, and baking powder.
