i never seen banana bread cake with cream cheese frosting
"Cake:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt
½ tsp cinnamon
½ cup unsalted butter, melted
1 cup brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
½ cup sour cream (or Greek yogurt)
3 ripe bananas, mashed
Cream Cheese Frosting:
8 oz…"
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3 cups powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp milk (if needed for consistency)
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Set aside.
3. Prepare the Batter
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter and brown sugar until smooth. Add the eggs, vanilla extract, and sour cream, stirring until fully combined.
Fold in the mashed bananas, mixing just until combined.
4. Combine Wet & Dry Ingredients
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just incorporated. Do not overmix—a few lumps are okay!
5. Bake Until Golden
Pour the batter into the prepared 9×13-inch baking dish and smooth the top. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting.
6. Make the Cream Cheese Frosting
While the cake cools, beat the softened cream cheese and butter together in a mixing bowl until smooth and creamy.
Gradually add the powdered sugar, followed by the vanilla extract. If the frosting is too thick, add 1 tbsp of milk to reach your desired consistency.
Frost & Serve
Spread the cream cheese frosting evenly over the cooled cake. For extra flavor, sprinkle with chopped walnuts or a dusting of cinnamon.
Slice, serve, and enjoy every moist, fluffy, and creamy bite!
