Ingredients:
- 1 perfectly ripe banana
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup butter (softened)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup milk
- Powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Banana:
- Peel the banana and mash it in a bowl until smooth. Set aside.
- Mix Dry Ingredients:
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Cream the Butter and Egg:
- In a large bowl, cream the softened butter and egg together until light and fluffy.
- Combine Ingredients:
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with milk. Stir until just combined.
- Gently fold in the mashed banana until evenly distributed.
- Bake:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
- Bake the Cake:
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The cake should have a lovely, snow-white appearance.
- Cool and Serve:
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cool, dust with powdered sugar if desired for an extra touch of elegance.
