Ingredients
  

Dry ingredients

  • 250g all-purpose flour (about 2 cups)
  • 1 packet baking powder (or 2 teaspoons if using loose)
  • 150g sugar (around 3/4 cup)

Wet ingredients

  • 3 ripe bananas
  • 2 large eggs
  • 100g sunflower oil (about 1/2 cup)
  • Juice and zest of 1 fresh lemon

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease a standard cake pan or line it with parchment paper.
  • Peel the bananas and place them in a blender with the sugar, lemon juice, and lemon zest.
  • Blend the mixture until it looks mostly smooth, with just a few small banana bits left.
  • Add the eggs and sunflower oil to the blender, then blend again until everything comes together.
  • In a large bowl, whisk the flour and baking powder together so the powder spreads evenly.
  • Pour the banana mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients and gently stir until smooth.
  • Scrape the batter into your prepared cake pan and spread it out evenly.
  • Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick poked into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then move it to a wire rack to cool completely.
