Yield 16 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

Cake:
Nonstick vegetable oil spray
3 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
1/2 cup (packed) light brown sugar
3 large eggs
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups mashed very ripe bananas
1 cup sour cream
1 10-ounce bag mini chocolate chips
Frosting:
2 cups creamy peanut butter
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
2 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Chocolate chips, mini chocolate chips, and chocolate kisses
Special Equipment
Two 8x8x2" cake pans

Steps:

  • For cake:
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Coat cake pans with nonstick spray. Line bottom of pans with parchment; coat paper. Whisk flour, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl. Using an electric mixer, beat sugar, butter, and brown sugar in a large bowl until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add eggs one at a time, beating to blend between additions and occasionally scraping down sides and bottom of bowl. Beat in vanilla.
  • Add dry ingredients; beat on low speed just to blend. Add bananas and sour cream; beat just to blend. Fold in mini chips. Divide batter evenly among pans; smooth tops.
  • Bake cakes until a tester inserted into the center comes out clean, about 35 minutes. Transfer to wire racks; let cool in pans for 10 minutes. Invert cakes onto racks; peel off parchment and let cool completely.
  • For frosting:
  • Using an electric mixer, beat first 4 ingredients in a medium bowl until a light and fluffy frosting forms, 2-3 minutes.
  • Place 1 cake on a platter. Spread 1 1/4 cups frosting over. Place remaining cake on top. Cover top and sides of cake with remaining frosting. Garnish with chocolate chips and kisses. DO AHEAD: Cake can be made 2 days ahead. Cover and chill. Let stand at room temperature for 1 hour before serving.

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your cake will be.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy: This will help to incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a lighter, more tender cake.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition: This will help to prevent the batter from curdling.
  • Be careful not to overmix the batter: Overmixing can result in a tough, dense cake.
  • Bake the cake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: If you are using a loaf pan, the cake may take a few minutes longer to bake.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it: This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
  • For a creamier frosting, use chilled peanut butter: If your peanut butter is too soft, it will make the frosting difficult to spread.

Conclusion:

This banana cake with peanut butter frosting is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert. With its moist, flavorful cake and creamy, peanut butter frosting, it's sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a special treat, give this recipe a try!
