Banana Cake with Fluffy Cream Cheese Frosting Recipe - (4.5/5) image

Provided by carvalhohm2

Number Of Ingredients 18

FLUFFY CREAM CHEESE FROSTING:
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups mashed bananas, from about 4 medium bananas
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1/2 cup butter, softened
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
1/2 cup light-brown sugar, packed
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups buttermilk
1 1/4 cups heavy cream
14 ounces cream cheese, softened slightly
1/3 cup salted butter, softened
1 3/4 cup powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325°F. Line two 9-inch round cake pans with aluminum foil, leaving a slight overhang of foil on two sides. Spray foil with cooking spray, then dust evenly with flour and shake off excess. In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda and salt for 30 seconds. Set aside. Mash bananas with 1 teaspoon lemon juice. In the bowl of an electric stand mixer fitted with paddle attachment, whip together butter, 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, granulated sugar and light brown sugar on medium-high speed until pale and fluffy, occasionally scraping down sides and bottom of bowl, about 3 minutes. Stir in remaining 2 tablespoons vegetable oil. Blend in eggs one at a time, mixing until combined after each addition. Stir in vanilla and mashed bananas. With mixer set on low speed, slowly add flour mixture alternating with buttermilk in 3 separate batches, beginning and ending with flour mixture and mixing just until combined after each addition. Divide batter evenly among prepared cake pans and spread batter into an even layer. Bake in preheated oven 45 - 50 minutes, until toothpick inserted into center comes out clean. Allow to cool completely then frost with Whipped Cream Cheese Frosting. For best results frost within 30 minutes of serving and store left over cake in refrigerator and allow to rest at room temperature about 10 - 20 minutes before enjoying. Fluffy cream cheese frosting: In the bowl of an electric stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, whip heavy cream on high speed until stiff peaks form, then transfer whipped cream to a mixing bowl and set aside. Replace whisk attachment with paddle attachment and add cream cheese and butter to stand mixer bowl. Whip together cream cheese and butter until smooth and fluffy on medium-high speed, about 2 minutes, occasionally scraping down sides and bottom of bowl. Add in powdered sugar and vanilla and whip on medium speed, about 2 minutes longer. Add half of whipped cream into cream cheese mixture and gently fold until combined, then fold in remaining half. Note: I tried this with both 1 1/2 cups and 1 3/4 cup mashed bananas and the 1 3/4 cup seemed to make the cake more dense and it didn't really need any of that extra moisture so I'd recommend that you measure the mashed bananas and use 1 1/2 cups.

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 large banana, mashed
2 c flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
3/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 c butter, softened
2 eggs
1 1/2 c sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 c buttermilk or sour milk
FROSTING:
8 oz cream cheese
3/4 stick butter
4 c powdered sugar
1 1/2 tsp vanilla

Steps:

  • 1. Cream together sugar and butter. Add eggs, mix well and add mashed bananas. Sift dry ingredients together. Add a little at a time with the buttermilk and vanilla. Baked in a greased 10"x15" pan.
  • 2. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool and frost.

Tips:

  • Selecting ripe bananas: Use bananas with dark yellow skin and brown spots for the best flavor in your cake.
  • Creaming butter and sugar thoroughly: This step incorporates air into the mixture, resulting in a lighter and fluffier cake.
  • Adding eggs one at a time: This helps to prevent the batter from curdling and ensures that the ingredients are evenly combined.
  • Mixing dry and wet ingredients separately: This ensures that the batter is evenly mixed and prevents overmixing, which can lead to a tough cake.
  • Folding in mashed bananas: Gently fold the mashed bananas into the batter until just combined to prevent overmixing.
  • Baking at the right temperature: A moderate oven temperature of 350°F (175°C) allows the cake to rise slowly and evenly.
  • Using a toothpick to check for doneness: Insert a toothpick into the center of the cake; if it comes out clean, the cake is done.

Conclusion:

This fluffy banana cake is a delightful treat that is perfect for any occasion. With its moist and tender crumb, sweet banana flavor, and fluffy texture, it is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So, grab some ripe bananas and give this recipe a try – you won't be disappointed!
