Ingredients
3 ripe bananas, mashed
1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup whole milk
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8-inch round cake pan.
In a large bowl, combine the mashed bananas, unsweetened applesauce, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix well until smooth.
Add the whole milk and vegetable oil to the banana mixture and stir to combine.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread it evenly.
Bake for 30 to 35 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.
