BEST EVER BANANA CAKE WITH CREAM CHEESE FROSTING



Best Ever Banana Cake With Cream Cheese Frosting image

This is one of (if not) the BEST banana cake I have ever tasted! I thought the oven temp of 275° sounded a little low, but this cake baked up (and rose) beautifully in my oven at this temp after pretty much exactly one hour. I do not know if the little "freezer trick" to this recipe is what ensured its moistness or not, but I did it, and it was exceptionally moist & delicious. Would be interesting to see if it still came out as great if this step was skipped. All I know is that I followed this recipe EXACTLY as stated (except that I had no buttermilk, so I subbed with a mix of lemon juice & milk) and I got exceptional results. So moist and yummy...a dense cake, similar in texture to a carrot cake... I personally would not call this frosted banana bread :o) Depending on the amount of frosting you like you can decide whether to half the recipe or not. I used the full recipe and had some leftover. I sprinkled on the chopped walnuts and threw this baby in the fridge and cut it the next day...TO DIE FOR! I really liked it slightly chilled, but great at room temp too! It got better each day it sat, I always make this cake at least the day before I need or want it. I was extremely pleased with this cake and will be making it over & over again!! So glad I came across this one!! (on another website). (* * Just to update the recipe, (based on some of the reviews), the baking time may vary based on individual ovens. It was RIGHT ON for my oven, but some others have stated it has taken 1 hour 10 minutes, 1 hour 20 minutes, and my sister just informed me that it took 1 hour 30 minutes in her oven!!!!!)

Time 2h

Yield Makes one 9-inch layer cake

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 pound cream cheese, room temperature
1 stick unsalted butter, room temperature
1 pound confectioners' sugar (about 3 1/2 cups)
Pinch kosher salt
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, plus more, room temperature, for pans
2 1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 cup safflower or other neutral-flavored oil
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
3 ripe bananas, mashed (1 1/4 cups)
2 large eggs, room temperature
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup buttermilk, room temperature
1 ounce dark chocolate, grated on the large holes of a box grater (about 1/3 cup), plus more shaved with a vegetable peeler, for decorating

Steps:

  • Frosting:In the bowl of a mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat cream cheese on medium-low speed until smooth, about 1 minute. Beat in butter until smooth, 2 minutes. Reduce speed to low and beat in confectioners' sugar and salt until well combined.
  • Increase speed to medium and beat until frosting is smooth and fluffy, about 1 minute. Transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate until firm, at least 3 hours and up to overnight.
  • Cake:Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly brush two 9-inch round cake pans with room-temperature butter. Line bottoms of pans with parchment rounds; lightly brush parchment with butter.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a large bowl, whisk together melted butter, oil, granulated sugar, and bananas. Whisk in eggs and vanilla until well combined. Stir in flour mixture in two additions, alternating with buttermilk and beginning and ending with flour.
  • Divide batter between prepared pans and bake until cakes are golden and a tester inserted in centers comes out clean, 35 to 40 minutes. Transfer pans to a wire rack; let cool 15 minutes. Turn cakes out onto rack, remove parchment, and let cool completely. Cakes can be frozen, tightly wrapped in plastic, up to 2 months.
  • Place a cake layer, bottom-side down, on a cake stand. In a small bowl, stir grated chocolate into 1 cup frosting. Using an offset spatula, spread frosting evenly over top of cake. Top with remaining cake layer, bottom-side up. Refrigerate until firm, about 15 minutes. Spread remaining frosting evenly over top and sides of cake. Top with shaved chocolate. Cake can be assembled and refrigerated up to 1 day in advance; bring to room temperature before serving.

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your cake will be. If your bananas are not ripe enough, you can ripen them quickly by placing them in a paper bag with an apple for a few days.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy: This will help to incorporate air into the batter, making your cake light and airy.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition: This will help to prevent the batter from curdling.
  • Fold in the dry ingredients gradually: This will help to prevent the batter from becoming tough.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This will help to ensure that your cake is cooked through.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it: This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.

Conclusion:

This banana cake with cream cheese frosting is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The cake is moist and flavorful, and the frosting is rich and creamy. Follow the tips above to make sure your cake turns out perfect every time.
