  • 1
    Preheat oven to 350℉ (180℃). Coat a 8-inch round or square baking pan with nonstick cooking spray.
  • 2
    In a large mixing bowl, with electric mixer, cream butter and brown sugar. Beat in egg, buttermilk, vanilla, and mashed banana until blended.
  • 3
    In a bowl, combine dry ingredients and spices.
  • 4
    Mix the dry ingredients into the butter mixture until moistened. Do not overbeat.
  • 5
    Pour batter into prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake 25 to 30 minutes, or until a wooden skewer poked into middle of cake comes out clean.
  • 6
