Number Of Ingredients 16

4 medium bananas (very ripe)
4 tsp lemon juice
1 1/2 cups whole milk
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp table salt
3/4 cup 1.5 sticks salted butter, softened
2 cups white sugar
3 large eggs (room temp)
1 TB pure vanilla extract
1 8oz pkg. regular cream cheese, softened
1 to 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar (Depending on how sweet you want it. I use 1 cup)
1/8 tsp table salt
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
1 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
Other: Optional sprinkles (nuts, or chocolate chips for garnish)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350F, with rack on lower middle or middle rack.
  • Generously grease and lightly flour a 9x13 glass pan (if you use metal, please adjust for less baking time.)
  • In a small bowl, mash bananas well, and set aside.
  • In a separate bowl, combine whole milk with lemon juice. Let sit at room temp.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and salt. Whisk well, and set aside.
  • In the large bowl of a stand mixer with paddle attachment, combine butter and sugar, and blend on medium until light and fluffy; approx 2-3 min. Add the eggs and vanilla. Beat just to combine.
  • Add in half of the flour mixture, blending on on medium-low just to combine. Add in half the milk mixture, blending just to combine. Repeat with remaining flour mixture and milk mixture.
  • Gently stir in the mashed bananas by hand, just until batter is fully incorporated. Do not overmix.
  • Using rubber spatula, scrape down bowl sides and scrape batter into prepared pan. Bake in preheated oven 50-55 minutes, or until toothpick inserted in middle comes out with a few tender crumbs attached. Let cake cool completely in pan on wire rack.
  • To Make the Frosting: Beat softened cream cheese with powdered sugar, salt, and vanilla until mixture is smooth and creamy. In a cold metal bowl, beat cold heavy whipping cream until it maintains stiff peaks. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, until fully combined. Keep chilled until ready to frost cooled cake.

THE BEST BANANA CAKE I'VE EVER HAD



The Best Banana Cake I've Ever Had image

This is absolutely the best banana cake I've ever had! It's supremely moist with cream cheese frosting, tons of banana, brown sugar, and cinnamon flavor.

Provided by Sally

Categories     Cake

Time 5h

Number Of Ingredients 17

3 large ripe bananas (about 1 and 1/2 cups mashed)
3 cups (375g) all-purpose flour (spoon & leveled)
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup (170g) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
1/2 cup (100g) packed light or dark brown sugar
3 large eggs, at room temperature
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 and 1/2 cups (360ml) buttermilk, at room temperature*
8 ounces (224g) full-fat block cream cheese, softened to room temperature
1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
3 cups (360g) confectioners' sugar, plus an extra 1/4 cup if needed
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C) and grease a 9×13 inch pan.
  • Mash the bananas. I usually just use my mixer for this! Set mashed bananas aside.
  • Whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt together. Set aside.
  • Using a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the butter on high speed until smooth and creamy - about 1 minute. Add both sugars and beat on high speed for 2 minutes until creamed together. Scrape down the sides and up the bottom of the bowl with a rubber spatula as needed. Add the eggs and the vanilla. Beat on medium-high speed until combined, then beat in the mashed bananas. Scrape down the sides and up the bottom of the bowl as needed. With the mixer on low speed, add the dry ingredients in three additions alternating with the buttermilk and mixing each addition just until incorporated. Do not overmix. The batter will be slightly thick and a few lumps is OK.
  • Spread batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 45-50 minutes. Baking times vary, so keep an eye on yours. The cake is done when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. If you find the top of the cake is browning too quickly in the oven, loosely cover it with aluminum foil.
  • Remove the cake from the oven and set on a wire rack. Allow to cool completely. After about 45 minutes, I usually place it in the refrigerator to speed things up.
  • In a large bowl using a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a paddle or whisk attachment, beat the cream cheese and butter together on high speed until smooth and creamy. Add 3 cups confectioners' sugar, vanilla, and salt. Beat on low speed for 30 seconds, then switch to high speed and beat for 2 minutes. If you want the frosting a little thicker, add the extra 1/4 cup of confectioners sugar (I add it). Spread the frosting on the cooled cake. Refrigerate for 30 minutes before serving. This helps sets the frosting and makes cutting easier.
  • Cover leftover cake tightly and store in the refrigerator for 5 days.
