You can use a brush for this step. Make sure that the entire surface of the pan is coated with the oil. Also, remember to use a pan that’s large enough for the cake. It’ll help you achieve that perfectly shaped cake after.

3. Add two tablespoons of sugar.

You can use either brown or white sugar. This step is to caramelize the bananas.

4. Put the banana slices on the bottom of the pan.

There’s no special way to arrange the bananas. Just make sure that you create a single layer on the pan.

Sift them before adding them to the egg mixture. Use a whisk to combine everything in the bowl.
