Ingredients

2 ripe bananas, mashed
1 cup mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup buttermilk

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the mashed bananas and vanilla extract.
Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Mix the Batter: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the banana mixture, alternating with the buttermilk. Mix until just combined. Gently fold in the mixed berries.
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. Serve plain or with cream cheese frosting if desired.
