Preheat oven to 180°C (160°C fan-forced). Grease a 20cm round cake tin and line the base with non-stick baking paper.

Step 2
Use an electric mixer to beat butter, sugar and vanilla in a mixing bowl until pale and creamy, scraping down the side of the bowl when necessary. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition until well combined.

Step 3
Use a fork to mash the bananas on a plate. Add to butter mixture and stir to combine. Stir in the milk. Sift together flour, cinnamon and bicarbonate of soda, add to banana mixture and then use a spatula or large metal spoon to fold together until just combined.

Step 4
Spoon mixture into prepared tin and smooth surface with the back of a metal spoon. Bake for 40-45 minutes or until cooked when tested with a skewer. Stand in the tin for 5 minutes before turning onto a wire rack to cool.
