A moist and delicious banana cake made without butter, using oil as a substitute for a lighter texture. Perfect for breakfast, dessert, or a snack.
3 ripe bananas, mashed
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup plain yogurt
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed bananas, granulated sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix well until smooth.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the banana mixture, alternating with the plain yogurt. Begin and end with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined, do not overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
Transfer the cake to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
