Begin by peeling and placing 3-4 ripe bananas into a mixing bowl. Thoroughly mash until smooth.

In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups of flour, 1 tsp baking soda, and 0.5 tsp salt.

In a large bowl, beat 0.5 cups softened butter and 1 cup sugar together until light and fluffy.

Add 2 eggs one at a time, then mix in 2 tsp vanilla until fully combined.

Gradually add the flour mixture to the creamed mixture, alternating with the mashed bananas. Fold gently until mixed.

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13-inch pan, pour in batter, and bake for 50-60 minutes.

For frosting, whisk together 0.5 cups softened butter, 0.33 cups cocoa powder, and 2 cups powdered sugar. Add 0.25 cups heavy cream gradually until smooth.

Once the cake is cool, spread the frosting over the top and enjoy.
