Where to find ingredients
All-purpose flour, granulated sugar, unsalted butter or margarine, milk, baking powder, and cinnamon are readily available in the baking aisle of most supermarkets. Bananas are available in the produce section of any grocery store. If you'd like to use a specific type of banana like 'nanica' or 'prata', check larger supermarkets or local farmers' markets for variety. A standard 9x13 inch baking pan or similar size round pan is common in kitchenware stores or the housewares section of department stores.

- In a bowl, combine the sugar, flour, butter, milk, and baking powder
- Mix all ingredients until you get a homogeneous batter
- Transfer the batter to a greased and floured baking pan
- Arrange the banana slices over the entire surface of the batter
- Sprinkle a generous layer of sugar and cinnamon over the bananas
- Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (180°C) until the cake is golden brown and firm

A practical option for breakfast or an afternoon snack, this cake highlights the natural sweetness of the fruit with the aromatic touch of cinnamon.
