Instructions
00:00 Introduction
00:20 Preheat oven to 350F (175C) and spray a 9x13 pan with baking spray or lightly grease and flour. Set aside.
00:52 Combine butter and sugars in the bowl of a stand mixer (or in a large bowl and use an electric mixer). Beat until well-combined and light and fluffy.
01:13 Add oil and beat to combine.
01:19 Stir in mashed bananas.
01:26 Add eggs, buttermilk, and vanilla extract and stir until well-combined.

01:59 Gradually add to wet ingredients until completely combined.
02:19 Spread batter into prepared pan and bake on 350F (175C) for 45-55 minutes* or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean with few moist crumbs. Allow to cool completely before covering with frosting.

Notes
*Important -- keep an eye on your banana cake as it bakes. 30 minutes in, check your cake to see if it's becoming too brown on top (pay attention to the edges, if they're getting darker in color and pulling away from the edges), if so you may lightly tent with foil before baking the remaining 15 minutes. I had this issue when baking in a glass dish but not in a metal one (which was the opposite of what I expected).
