Description

Banana Milk Soft Morning Cake is a tender, lightly sweet breakfast cake made with ripe bananas and milk for an ultra-soft crumb. Gentle and comforting rather than rich, this banana cake bakes evenly, slices cleanly, and stays moist for days. It’s perfect for breakfast, quiet afternoons, or anytime you want a homemade bake that feels calming and familiar without being heavy.

Ingredients

Scale

2 ripe bananas, mashed
2 large eggs
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 cup milk
1/3 cup neutral oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
Pinch of salt

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a round baking pan.
Mash bananas until smooth.
In a large bowl, whisk eggs and sugar until well combined.
Stir in mashed bananas.
Add milk, oil, and vanilla and mix gently until smooth.
In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt.
Fold dry ingredients into the batter gently until just combined.
Pour batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
Bake for 40–45 minutes until set and lightly golden.
Cool completely before slicing for best texture.

Notes

Use very ripe bananas for best flavor and softness.
Avoid overmixing once flour is added to keep the crumb tender.
Whole milk creates the softest texture, but low-fat works.
This cake slices best once fully cooled.
Store covered to maintain moisture.
