Banana Cake
- Preheat the oven to 350° F. Grease an 8×8-inch baking dish with baking spray. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, combine the mashed bananas, light brown sugar and cooled butter. Stir in egg, buttermilk, and vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, and cinnamon together until combined. Stir these dry ingredients into the wet ingredients just until combined. Don’t over mix.
- Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the cinnamon topping all over the top of the batter. Using a butter knife, gently swirl the topping into an inch of the top of the batter. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 30 minutes.
Icing
- Whisk the powdered sugar and milk together. Drizzle all over the top of the cake. Cut into squares and enjoy!
