Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan.
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt until combined.
In a separate bowl, blend melted butter, milk, and room temperature eggs until smooth.
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
Slice bananas and sprinkle brown sugar evenly over the bottom of the cake pan.
Pour batter over the arranged bananas and brown sugar, spreading evenly.
Bake for 40 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
Cool the cake in the pan for 10 minutes, then invert onto a serving plate.
Serve slightly warm, optionally with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
