PEANUT BUTTER CREAM CHEESE FROSTING



Peanut Butter Cream Cheese Frosting image

YUM!!! This is an excellent frosting which incorporates two of my favorite things...peanut butter and cream cheese and it's also easy to make. I used it to frost a banana cake I made (recipe #50349-which is an excellent cake recipe) and it was soooo good! I found this recipe on another recipe website. I'm thinking it would also be great on chocolate cake.

Categories     Dessert

Time 10m

Yield 1 13x9 cake

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter (would also be good with crunchy peanut butter)
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 -3 1/2 cups powdered sugar
2 tablespoons milk or 2 tablespoons cream

Steps:

  • Mix together cream cheese and peanut butter with mixer until smooth.
  • Add vanilla and powdered sugar, 1 cup at a time, along with the milk or cream and beat until spreading consistency.
  • (I used only 3 cups powdered sugar and 2-3 tbsp. of milk).
  • Spread on cooled cake.

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas. The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your cake will be.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough, dense cake.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Overbaking will result in a dry cake.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help the frosting to set properly.
  • If you don't have peanut butter cream cheese frosting, you can use another type of frosting, such as chocolate ganache or vanilla buttercream.

Conclusion:

This Butterfinger banana cake with peanut butter cream cheese frosting is a delicious and decadent dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The cake is moist and flavorful, and the frosting is rich and creamy. If you are looking for a show-stopping dessert, this cake is sure to impress.
