This moist and flavorful banana cake is made effortlessly using a boxed cake mix combined with ripe bananas, making it a perfect quick dessert or snack.
1 box (15.25 ounces) yellow cake mix
1 cup mashed ripe bananas (about 2-3 medium bananas)
3 large eggs
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup water
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, mashed bananas, eggs, vegetable oil, water, and vanilla extract.
Using an electric mixer or whisk, beat the mixture on medium speed until smooth and well combined, about 2 minutes.
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan and spread it out smoothly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
