Description

A delicious and moist cake that combines the classic flavors of banana bread with a sweet and creamy topping, perfect for breakfast or dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups mashed ripe bananas (about 3–4 bananas)
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk (or milk + 1 tbsp lemon juice/vinegar as a substitute)
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3–4 cups powdered sugar (adjust for sweetness)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2–3 tablespoons heavy cream (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. In a large bowl, cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, mix in the vanilla.
  3. Stir in the mashed bananas, then alternately add the flour mixture and buttermilk, starting and ending with the flour. Mix until everything is just combined.
  4. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let the cake cool completely in the pan.
  5. In a bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and butter until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar, vanilla, and heavy cream (if desired) until creamy and smooth. Spread the frosting over the cooled cake, slice, and serve!
