Ingredients
- 1-2/3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/3 cup mashed ripe bananas (about 1 small banana)
- 1/3 cup canola oil
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Confectioners’ sugar (for dusting)
Directions
- Begin by preheating your oven to 350°. While it warms up, take a medium bowl and whisk together the all-purpose flour and baking soda.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, water, mashed banana, canola oil, and vanilla extract until well combined. Gradually add this wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring until the batter is moistened.
- Pour the batter into a greased 8-inch square baking pan, spreading it evenly. Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, which should take about 30-35 minutes.
- Once baked, remove the pan from the oven and allow the cake to cool on a wire rack. After it has cooled, dust the top of the cake with a light layer of confectioners’ sugar, adding a touch of sweetness and elegance. Cut the cake into 9 pieces and enjoy!
