Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a round baking pan.
In a mixing bowl, mash ripe bananas until smooth.
In another bowl, cream together softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in mashed bananas and vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually mix into wet ingredients until just combined; do not overmix.
