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!

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.

1 cup mashed ripe banana
3 eggs
3/4 cup creamy vanilla frosting (from can)

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.
