Let's Get Started
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a separate large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then stir in the mashed bananas and vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the banana mixture, alternating with the milk. Mix until just combined.
- Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans. Smooth the tops with a spatula.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Remove the cakes from the oven and let them cool in the pans for 10 minutes. Then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once the cakes are cooled, place one cake layer on a serving plate. Spread a layer of vanilla custard over the top.
- Place the second cake layer on top and spread another layer of vanilla custard.
- Cover the entire cake with whipped cream and garnish with banana slices.
- Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
- Slice and serve chilled. Enjoy!
