BANANA CAKE WITH CHOCOLATE FROSTING
I always requested banana cake with fudge frosting for my birthday. Mom's recipe is attached to my fridge-and my heart. It's funny how many memories live on in a stained handwritten recipe card. On a more practical note: It's important to make sure the whipped cream cheese is truly at room temperature before you use it. If not, it chills the softened butter and makes for lumpy frosting. -Jeanne Ambrose, Milwaukee, Wisconsin

- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a fluted tube pan (such as Bundt®).

Tips:
- Use overripe bananas: This will give your cake a sweeter, more intense banana flavor.
- Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy: This will help to incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a lighter, more tender cake.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition: This will help to prevent the batter from curdling.
- Use a light touch when folding in the dry ingredients: Over-mixing can result in a tough, dense cake.
- Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: Over-baking can result in a dry, crumbly cake.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting: This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
- If you don't have time to make the chocolate frosting, you can use a store-bought frosting instead.
Conclusion:
Banana cake is a classic dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With its sweet, moist texture and delicious chocolate frosting, this banana cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
