Required instructions:

A) Preparation:

1. Using a fork, mash the bananas coarsely and keep it aside. 
2. In a different bowl, break two eggs, no need to beat as we will add the egg one by one to the mixture. Add in the vanilla or banana essence.
3. Measure the sugar, and add it to the mixing bowl where you will be creaming butter and sugar together. Add butter in it as well. 
4. Sift all the dry ingredients in the different bowl: flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
5. Mix white vinegar and milk in a small bowl. Don't worry if you see a curdle, because that is what you will be wanting to prepare your buttermilk.
6. Preheat oven at 180 degree celsius and grease an 8-inch  cake tin.

B) Batter and bake:

1. Cream butter and sugar together. 
2. Now, add the mashed bananas and beat. Remember to beat at high speed.

4. Add the rest dry ingredients and beat properly. Remember to beat at medium-high speed.
5. Now add in the milk and vinegar mixture and beat at high speed.
