Ingredients
  

3 ripe bananas, mashed

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

1 cup granulated sugar

1/2 cup brown sugar, packed

3 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 cup buttermilk

1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch Bundt pan to ensure the cake releases easily once baked.

    Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. This should take about 3-4 minutes.

      Add Eggs and Vanilla: Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, stir in the vanilla extract.

        Incorporate Bananas: Gently fold in the mashed bananas into the batter until well combined.

          Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.

            Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the banana mixture alternately with the buttermilk. Start and finish with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined, being careful not to over-mix.

              Add Nuts: If using, fold in the chopped walnuts or pecans for added texture and flavor.

                Pour and Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared Bundt pan, smoothing the top with a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

                  Cool the Cake: Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 15 minutes. Then, carefully invert the cake onto a wire rack to cool completely.

                    Dust and Serve: Once cooled, you can dust the cake with powdered sugar for an elegant finish, if desired. Slice and serve with a cup of tea or coffee!
