Ripe bananas lend natural sweetness and softness to the dough, making this cake ideal for a snack, breakfast or dessert. Imagine the smell of freshly baked muffins filling the kitchen, while the sweet aromas of banana and vanilla enchant your senses. The inside is perfectly soft, and the outside gets a slightly golden brown crust. The secret to a perfect cupcake is properly ripe bananas and a light, airy batter.
