Banana Bread Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting

ADVERTISEMENT

For the Cream Cheese Frosting:

  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 4 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1-2 tablespoons milk (as needed)

For Garnishing:

  • Chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
  • Banana slices (optional)

Step-by-Step Instructions

Preparing the Banana Bread Cake

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Set aside.
  3. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, beat the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
  5. Incorporate Bananas and Sour Cream: Add the mashed bananas and sour cream to the mixture, and beat until combined.
  6. Combine Dry and Wet Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Add the milk and mix until the batter is smooth and well combined.
  7. Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top. Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Cool: Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.

Preparing the Cream Cheese Frosting

  1. Beat Cream Cheese and Butter: In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and butter together until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
  2. Add Powdered Sugar: Gradually add the powdered sugar, one cup at a time, beating well after each addition until fully incorporated.
  3. Add Vanilla and Milk: Mix in the vanilla extract. If the frosting is too thick, add milk one tablespoon at a time until the desired consistency is reached.
