Crack the eggs into the mashed bananas and whisk everything together until fully combined.
Pour the banana-egg mixture into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Storage/Reheating
Once the banana cake has cooled, I store it in an airtight container in the fridge. It keeps well for 2-3 days. If I want to warm it up, I simply microwave a slice for about 20 seconds or heat it in the oven at 300°F (150°C) for a few minutes.
FAQs
Can I make this banana cake without eggs?
I haven’t tried it myself, but you could experiment with an egg substitute like a flaxseed mixture or applesauce. However, the texture may vary.
Can I freeze the banana cake?
Yes! I freeze the cake in individual slices for easy servings later. Just wrap each piece tightly in plastic wrap and place it in a freezer-safe bag. To reheat, I microwave the slice for 30 seconds to 1 minute.
Can I use overripe bananas for this recipe?
Absolutely! In fact, overripe bananas are perfect because they are even sweeter and softer, making the cake even more delicious.
How can I make the banana cake sweeter?
If I want a bit more sweetness, I sometimes add a little honey, maple syrup, or even a pinch of cinnamon. You can adjust the sweetness to your liking by adding these simple extras.
What should I serve with this banana cake?
This cake is great on its own, but I love serving it with whipped cream, fresh berries, or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a more indulgent treat. It also pairs wonderfully with a cup of tea or coffee.

This 2-Ingredient Banana Cake is a true winner for anyone who loves simple, healthy, and delicious desserts.
