  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 box yellow cake mix (15.25 ounces)
  • Optional Topping

  • Chocolate frosting (for topping the cake)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and spray a 9×13 inch baking pan with non-stick cooking spray.
  2. Mash the bananas: In a large mixing bowl, mash the peeled bananas until smooth.
  3. Add wet ingredients: To the mashed bananas, add the eggs and vegetable oil. Mix well to combine all the wet ingredients thoroughly.
  4. Incorporate dry ingredients: Mix the yellow cake mix into the wet mixture. Stir until the ingredients are fully blended, forming a smooth batter.
  5. Transfer batter: Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly across the pan.
  6. Bake the cake: Bake the cake in the preheated oven for 45 to 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
  7. Cool the cake: Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan.
  8. Add frosting or topping: Frost the cooled cake with your favorite chocolate frosting, or simply dust it with powdered sugar before serving.
