Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Generously grease a 9 by 13-inch baking pan.
- In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat the butter and sugars on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add in the vanilla and then the eggs, one at a time. On low speed beat in half the dry ingredients then the bananas, sour cream, and milk. Beat in the remaining dry ingredients. Gently stir in the walnuts.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for about 35 minutes, or until a cake tester inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow to cool completely. Unfrosted cake can be well wrapped and frozen for up to 2 months. Thaw at room temperature before frosting.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese, butter, and vanilla on medium-high speed until very light, creamy, and smooth. On low speed gradually add in the sugar and beat until fluffy.
- Spread the frosting over the cooled cake. Garnish with chopped walnuts. For cleaner cuts, refrigerate for 30 minutes before slicing and serving. Store in the fridge for up to 3 days. Serve at room temperature.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 275°F. Grease and flour a 9 x 13 pan.
- In a small bowl, mix mashed bananas with the lemon juice; set aside.
- In a medium bowl, mix flour, baking soda and salt; set aside.
- In a large bowl with an electric mixer, cream 3/4 cup butter and 2 cups sugar until light and fluffy; about 3 minutes. Beat in eggs, one at a time, then stir in 2 teaspoons of vanilla.
- Beat in the flour mixture alternately with the buttermilk, starting and ending with the flour, until just combined. Stir in mashed bananas.
- Pour batter into prepared pan and bake in preheated oven for 60-75 minutes, or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. This could take longer than 75 minutes depending on your oven.
- Remove from oven and place directly into the freezer for 45 minutes. This will make the cake extremely moist.
- While the cake rests in the freezer, make the frosting. Beat the butter and cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth. Add in 1 teaspoon vanilla and mix until incorporated.
- Add powdered sugar and beat on low speed until combined, then on high speed until frosting is smooth.

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.

- Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Invert the pan onto the rack to remove the cake.
- While cake begins to cool, mix confectioners' sugar, milk, vanilla extract, and salt until icing is well blended. Poke the top and sides of the cake gently with a fork while still warm. Drizzle icing over cake. Serve warm or allow to cool completely before serving.

Steps:
- Prep work: Preheat the oven / 350 deg Grease and flour the pans of your choice. the original recipe called for two 8 inch pans. I used one 8 inch round and one 9 inch square pan. Let's get the party started Sift the flour,baking soda and salt together and set aside. Cream the butter,sugar and eggs. Add in the pureed bananas,,cardamom powder ,cinnamon powder and saffron strands. Add in the flour and whip up the gooey mixture. Fold in the walnuts and almonds Let's cook them: Stick those pans in the preheated oven and bake them at 350 deg for 30 min. The results: Holy mackerel ! Honest to goodness yummy light and fluffy and airy goodness in squares and circles. Beautiful brown goodness, perfectly baked and crunchy walnuts. The aroma filled the entire kitchen and brought the oldest scooting down to the kitchen.. all the way form the attic. Texture : Very very soft ( possibly the baking powder in the self rising flour combined with the baking soda, did wonders) and porus. Aroma : Fragrant cardamom and hint of cinnamon with saffron emanating creating the wonderful fusion with bananas. Serve it up..the kids devoured it it warm with the cool combination of whipped cream. Yummy! Verdict: Just awesome !.. And like I always believe, great cooking results is mostly achieved by right combination of ingredients and the freshness of your stock. And of course, the right chemistry !!! http://veggierumblings.wordpress.com/2013/06/13/oh-so-awesome-light-and-fluffy-nutty-banana-cake/
Tips:
- Use very ripe bananas for the best flavor and moist texture. Mash them thoroughly with a fork or potato masher. - Cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. This will help incorporate air into the batter and make the cake light and airy. - Gradually add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. This will help prevent the batter from curdling. - Fold in the dry ingredients in three additions, alternating with the buttermilk. This will help prevent the batter from becoming too stiff. - Stir in the walnuts, almonds, and bananas. Do not overmix the batter, or the cake will be tough. - Bake the cake in a preheated oven at 350°F for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. - Let the cake cool completely in the pan before frosting. This will help prevent the frosting from melting.Conclusion:
This super moist banana cake with walnuts and almonds is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its moist texture, sweet banana flavor, and crunchy nuts, this cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you have some overripe bananas, don't throw them away!
