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.
FOOLPROOF SUPER BANANA CAKE
Over time I made it and made it and still making it.. and, it is always the same result.. Super "Good", Super "Tasty", Super "Moistie" Super "Sweetie" and Super, Super gooood! The real art of conversation is not only to say the right thing in the right place, but to leave unsaid the wrong thing at the tempting...

FOOLPROOF, ONE BOWL BANANA CAKE

Tips:
- Use ripe bananas. The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your cake will be.
- Mash the bananas well. This will help to create a smooth and even batter.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cake tough.
- Bake the cake at the right temperature. If the oven is too hot, the cake will brown too quickly and the inside will be undercooked. If the oven is too cool, the cake will take too long to bake and will be dry.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
Conclusion:
This foolproof super banana cake is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. With its moist and fluffy texture, sweet banana flavor, and decadent frosting, this cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
