Follow these simple steps to create your Easy and Delicious Banana Cake:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
2. Mash the Bananas: In a mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. Set aside.
3. Cream Butter and Sugar: In another bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy.
4. Add Eggs: Beat in the eggs one at a time, incorporating them fully before adding the next. Mix in the vanilla extract.
5. Combine Ingredients: Stir in the mashed bananas until evenly incorporated.
6. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
7. Combine Wet and Dry: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the banana mixture, alternating with the buttermilk. Start and end with the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.
8. Pour into Pan: Transfer the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth out the top.
9. Bake: Place in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
10. Cool: Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

These straightforward steps guarantee a cake filled with amazing flavors and comforting textures.
