This is a Taste of Home recipe, which I shamefully call my own at family gatherings. LOL (after all , I did bake it!)

Tips:

Use ripe bananas for the best flavor and texture. Mashed bananas add moisture and sweetness to the cake, so using ripe bananas will ensure a delicious result.
Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help to incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a light and airy cake.
Gradually add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. This will help to prevent the batter from curdling.
Sift the flour, baking powder, and salt together before adding them to the batter. This will help to ensure that the ingredients are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can toughen the cake.
Bake the cake at 350°F for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting it. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
