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!!!!!)

Yield Makes 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

Cake
3 cups all purpose flour
2 cups sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 cup vegetable oil
3 large eggs
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups chopped bananas (from about 3 bananas)
1 cup chopped pecans
1 8-ounce can crushed pineapple with juice
Frosting
2 8-ounce packages cream cheese, room temperature
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
3 cups powdered sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 cup chopped toasted pecans

Steps:

  • For cake:
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter and flour two 9-inch round cake pans with 2-inch-high sides. Whisk first 5 ingredients in large bowl to blend. Whisk in oil, eggs, and vanilla. Stir in bananas, pecans, and pineapple. Divide batter equally between prepared pans. Bake cakes until tester inserted into center comes out clean, about 30 minutes. Cool cakes in pans on racks 10 minutes. Run knife around cake sides and turn out onto rack to cool completely.
  • For frosting:
  • Using electric mixer, beat cream cheese and butter in large bowl to blend. Beat in sugar and vanilla. Place 1 cake layer on plate. Spread 1 1/2 cups frosting over. Top with second cake layer. Spread remaining frosting over top and sides of cake. Sprinkle toasted pecans in border around top edge of cake. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover; chill. Let stand at room temperature before serving.)

Tips:

  • Choosing the right bananas: For the best flavor and texture, use ripe bananas with plenty of brown spots.
  • Measuring the flour correctly: To ensure accurate measurements, use a kitchen scale to weigh the flour. Alternatively, fluff the flour with a spoon before spooning it into the measuring cup.
  • Mixing the batter: Do not overmix the batter, as this can result in a tough cake. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Baking the cake: Bake the cake in a preheated oven to prevent uneven baking. Check the cake for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, the cake is done.
  • Making the cream cheese frosting: Use high-quality cream cheese for the best flavor. Let the cream cheese come to room temperature before beating it. Beat the cream cheese and butter until smooth and creamy before adding the powdered sugar.
  • Storing the cake: Store the cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, wrap the cake tightly in plastic wrap and freeze for up to 2 months.

Conclusion:

This banana pineapple layer cake with cream cheese frosting is a delicious and impressive dessert that is perfect for any occasion.
