3 cups flour
2 1/2 cups sugar
4 very ripe bananas (when you mash, you should get 1 3/4-2 cups)
3 large eggs
2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup canola oil
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour a 12 cup Bundt pan or a tube pan. In a bowl, whisk together flour, spice powders, salt, baking soda. In another bowl, beat oil and sugar till combined. Add eggs one at a time and beat well after each addition. Add 1/3 of the flour mixture to the oil and egg mixture and beat. Add half of the banana puree and continue to beat. Repeat 1/3 of flour, remaining half of banana and 1/3 of flour mixture beating to incorporate everything very well. Pour into the prepared pan. Tap the pan few times to remove air bubbles. Bake for 55 minutes to an hour or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool in the pan for 15 minutes and then turn it on to the wire rack to cool completely.
