Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish. (5 minutes)

02

Step
2 mins

In a small bowl, mix the milk and vinegar together. This creates a 'buttermilk' substitute, adding a slight tang to the cake. (2 minutes)

03

Step
5 mins

In a large bowl, stir together the white sugar, vegetable oil, milk mixture, brown sugar, and melted butter until well combined. Add the baking soda and baking powder and stir until evenly distributed. (5 minutes)

04

Step
3 mins

Mix the oats into the sugar mixture. This will add a wonderful texture to the cake. (3 minutes)

05

Step
7 mins

Gradually stir in the flour, one cup at a time, into the sugar-oat mixture until the batter is evenly combined and smooth. Be careful not to overmix. (7 minutes)

06

Step
3 mins

Gently fold in the mashed bananas until just incorporated. (3 minutes)

07

Step
2 mins

Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading evenly. (2 minutes)

08

Step
45 mins

Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, approximately 45 minutes. (45 minutes)

For a richer flavor, use browned butter instead of melted butter.
Feel free to add a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the batter for extra flavor.
Chopped walnuts or pecans can be added to the batter for added texture and flavor.
This cake is delicious on its own, but it also pairs well with a simple vanilla glaze or cream cheese frosting.
For a more intense banana flavor, use overripe bananas.
