1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/3 cup butter (softened)
1 1/4 cups light brown sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 medium overripe bananas (mashed, about 1 1/4 cups)
1 cup sour cream
1/2 cup chopped pecans, plus 1/4 cup for topping
1 1/2 cups brown rice flour
1/2 cup tapioca starch

1 1/2 teaspoons xanthan gum
4 oz cream cheese (softened)
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Generously grease a 10-12 cup bundt pan with butter and then dust with flour. Set aside.

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!!!!!)

BANANA CAKE WITH CREAM CHEESE FROSTING



Banana Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting image

Provided by Katie Lee Biegel

Categories     dessert

Time 1h45m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, at room temperature, plus more for the pan
2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for the pan
1/2 cup lightly packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
3 ripe bananas, peeled
3 large eggs
1/2 cup plain yogurt (regular, not Greek)
1 teaspoon vanilla
4 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 cup confectioners' sugar, sifted
1 teaspoon vanilla
Raspberries, for decorating, if desired

Steps:

  • For the banana cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer, combine the butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar. Mix on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, sift the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon and salt into a medium bowl. Set aside.
  • Add the bananas to the butter mixture and mix until combined. Let the mixer do the work of mashing for you. Add the eggs one at a time and mix until well combined. Mix in the yogurt and vanilla. Turn the mixer to low and add the dry ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan. Bake until a cake tester or toothpick comes out clean, 45 to 50 minutes. Cool in the pan for 5 to 10 minutes, then turn onto a wire rack and cool completely.
  • For the cream cheese frosting: Using the electric mixer on high speed, blend the cream cheese and butter until light and fluffy, 4 to 5 minutes. With the mixer on low, add the confectioners' sugar and then the vanilla.
  • Spread the frosting on top of the cake. Decorate around the perimeter of the cake with raspberries, if desired.

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas for a sweeter, more flavorful cake.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy for a smooth, even cake batter.
  • Gradually add the eggs, one at a time, to prevent the batter from curdling.
  • Fold in the dry ingredients gently to avoid overmixing, which can make the cake tough.
  • Bake the cake at 350°F for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it to prevent the frosting from melting.
  • For a cream cheese frosting with a smooth, creamy texture, use softened cream cheese and beat it until light and fluffy before adding the other ingredients.

Conclusion:

This classic banana cake recipe with cream cheese icing is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. With its moist, flavorful crumb and rich, creamy frosting, this cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. Follow these tips to ensure your banana cake turns out perfectly every time.
