Ingredients
Banana Cake:
1 1⁄2 cups mashed banana (about 3-4 large ripe bananas) 23⁄4 cups all-purpose flour
1⁄2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3⁄4 cup unsalted butter, softened to room temperature 3⁄4 cup granulated sugar
3⁄4 cup brown sugar, packed
3 large eggs, at room temperature
1 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 cup sour cream, at room temperature
Cream Cheese Frosting:
8 ounces full-fat cream cheese, room temperature 1⁄2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1⁄2 teaspoon salt
3-4 cups powdered sugar
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease a 9x13 inch pan. Set aside.
2. To make the cake, mash the bananas with a potato masher or the back of a fork in a medium bowl and set
aside.
3. In another medium bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt and cinnamon together. Set
aside.
4. Using a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment of a handheld electric mixer, beat the butter on high
speed until light and creamy, 1-2 minutes. Add the granulated sugar and brown sugar and beat on high
speed again for -3 minutes until light and fluffy. Scrape down sides of the bowl as needed.
5. Add the eggs and the vanilla and beat on high speed until combined, another 1-2 minutes. Then add
bananas and beat until combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
6. Slowly add the dry ingredients into the mixture in three rounds, alternating with the sour cream until
completely combined.
7. Pour batter into prepared pan and bake for 43-46 minutes. Cake will be done when a toothpick inserted in
the center comes out clean.
8. Allow to cool completely before frosting.
9. To make the frosting, beat the cream cheese and butter on high speed until smooth and creamy, 2-3
minutes. Add the vanilla and salt and beat to combine. Add the powdered sugar one cup at a time, mixing
well between each addition. Stop at 3 cups and add more sugar 1⁄8 cup at a time until you reach desired
consistency.
10. Spread cream cheese on frosting cooled cake and top with extra bananas and cinnamon if desired.
