Moist And Sweet Banana Cake Recipe

Some of my links are affiliate links. 

 

I have made Banana Bread, Banana Muffins, 

Banana Smoothies and more. But I have never made a banana cake before. 

So the other day when I had just a few ripened bananas left, I wanted to try something different, so I figured this was the time to make that cake.

This Banana Cake is moist and sweet, and it is complimented, very well, by the cream cheese frosting.

Ingredients:

• 3 cups sifted all-purpose flour
• 1/2 tsp salt  
• 1 -1/2 tsp baking soda 
• 1 tsp lemon juice 
• 3 ripe bananas, mashed 
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup light brown sugar 
• 3 eggs, (use them at room temperature)
• 3/4 cup softened butter 
• 2 tsp clear vanilla extract 
• 1 -1/2 cups milk 

Frosting:

• 8 oz. cream cheese, softened to room temperature
  
• 8 Tbsp butter (1 stick), room temperature (you can also use unsalted butter)
  
• 1 tsp vanilla extract 
• 1 tsp lemon juice
  
• 3 cups powdered sugar

Instructions:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F  (grease a 9×13” baking dish. Whisk the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt together. Set this aside.
• Mash the bananas  using a fork, and add the lemon juice - set aside.
• With a handheld mixer, beat the butter and sugars on medium speed until creamy, about 3 minutes.
• Add in the eggs and the vanilla to the sugar mixture. Beat on medium speed until combined.
• Add the mashed bananas.
• With the mixer on low speed, add 1/2 of the dry ingredients and 1/2 half the milk, and until mixed , then add the rest of dry ingredients and milk until fully mixed. The batter will be a little lumpy from the bananas.
• Spread batter into the prepared pan and bake for 40–50 minutes. If the cake is browning quickly, cover loosely with aluminum foil and continue baking.
  
• To make your frosting, combine all frosting ingredients in a mixing bowl and mix until completely smooth.
• Allow cake to cool completely before frosting.
