Banana Bread Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting: A Moist and Decadent Treat
- Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans. Smooth the tops with a spatula.
- Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
4. Make the Cream Cheese Frosting
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and butter together until smooth and creamy.
- Gradually add the powdered sugar, one cup at a time, beating until light and fluffy.
- Stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt. Adjust sweetness or consistency as needed.
5. Assemble the Cake
- Place one cake layer on a serving plate or cake stand. Spread a generous layer of cream cheese frosting on top.
- Place the second cake layer on top and frost the top and sides of the cake with the remaining frosting.
- Decorate with banana slices, chopped nuts, or sprinkles, if desired.
6. Serve and Enjoy
- Slice and serve with a glass of milk, coffee, or tea for a truly satisfying experience.
Tips for Success
- Use Ripe Bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful the cake.
- Don’t Overmix: Mix the batter just until combined to avoid a dense cake.
- Storage: Store the cake in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Bring to room temperature before serving.
- Make Ahead: Bake the cake layers ahead of time, wrap tightly, and freeze for up to 1 month. Frost after thawing.
