Ingredients

3 ripe bananas, mashed
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup chopped walnuts
Optional: powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the mashed bananas, eggs, and vanilla extract, and mix until well combined.
Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Add Walnuts: Fold in the chopped walnuts gently.
Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool and Serve: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Dust with powdered sugar if desired before serving.
