Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan with cooking spray and set it aside.
Mash the ripe bananas in a separate bowl until smooth. In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed bananas, vegetable oil, and sugar. Beat them together until they are light and creamy. Add the eggs, one at a time, and continue beating until they are well combined.
In another bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt together. Add half a cup of the flour mixture to the creamy mixture and mix until well combined. Pour in the milk and vanilla extract and mix until they are fully incorporated. Gradually add the remaining flour mixture ensuring that you don't overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
