CHOCOLATE BANANA CAKE WITH PEANUT BUTTER CREAM CHEESE FROSTING



Chocolate Banana Cake with Peanut Butter Cream Cheese Frosting image

Inspired by Elvis's famous peanut butter banana sandwich, I took this to the next level by incorporating the flavors into a moist and simple cake. But who can have a cake without frosting? Not me! A creamy peanut butter cream cheese frosting tops this off and makes it my one-of-a-kind cake filled with four favorite flavors. I think Elvis would be proud!

A year around family favorite, the recipe for this moist layer cake was passed on to me by my mother. Children can't keep their fingers out of the icing, which tastes just like peanut butter fudge.

CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER AND BANANA CAKE



Chocolate Peanut Butter and Banana Cake image

From "Cake Mix Magic." Uses a devil's food cake mix (a nice change from the yellow cake mix seen in other recipes for similar cakes). Basically, a chocolate banana cake with chocolate peanut butter glaze. Yum. The author notes that chunky peanut butter can be used for the glaze if desired but will not produce a smooth satiny glaze. Prep time is an estimate.

Time 1h10m

Yield 1 bundt cake

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 butter recipe yellow cake mix
1 (3 1/2 ounce) package instant vanilla pudding
1/4 cup water
1/3 cup oil
1 cup mashed ripe banana
3 eggs
3/4 cup creamy vanilla frosting (from can)
1/4 cup creamy peanut butter

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees F.

  • Microwave frosting on high for 25-35 seconds, or until thin consistency.
  • Immediately stir in peanut butter.
  • Drizzle warm frosting over cake.

Tips:

  • Choosing the Right Bananas: Use overripe bananas for a sweeter and more flavorful cake. The darker the bananas, the better.
  • Mixing the Batter: Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough and dense cake. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Measuring the Flour: Spoon the flour into the measuring cup and level it off with a knife to ensure an accurate measurement.
  • Baking the Cake: Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Do not overbake, as this can dry out the cake.
  • Cooling the Cake: Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting it. This helps to prevent the frosting from melting.
