BANANA CAKE WITH CHOCOLATE FROSTING



Banana Cake with Chocolate Frosting image

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

Provided by Ashley Ritchie

Time 1h40m

Yield 14

Number Of Ingredients 15

4 large eggs
½ cup mashed ripe banana
½ cup water
1 (5 ounce) can evaporated milk
¼ cup sour cream
⅓ cup vegetable oil
1 (15.25 ounce) package yellow cake mix
1 tablespoon light brown sugar
½ cup white sugar
1 (5 ounce) package instant banana cream pudding mix
½ cup salted sweet cream butter, softened
3 tablespoons heavy cream, or more to taste
⅓ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 ½ cups confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a fluted tube pan (such as Bundt®).
  • Mix together eggs, mashed banana, water, evaporated milk, sour cream, and oil in a large bowl. Stir in cake mix, then sugar and brown sugar, then pudding mix. Mix to thoroughly incorporate all ingredients; pour batter into the prepared pan.

Categories     Chocolate Cake

Time 1h20m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 (15.25 ounce) package devil's food cake mix (such as Duncan Hines®)
1 ¼ cups water
3 large eggs
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 (8 ounce) container frozen chocolate whipped topping, thawed
2 ½ cups milk, divided
¼ cup powdered sugar
1 (3.4 ounce) package instant banana cream pudding mix
1 (3.4 ounce) package instant chocolate pudding mix
5 medium bananas, sliced
½ (11 ounce) box vanilla wafer cookies (such as Nilla®)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease two 9-inch round cake pans.
  • Mix cake mix, water, eggs, and oil until smooth. Pour 1/2 of the mixture into each prepared cake pan.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 30 to 45 minutes. Cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes. Run a table knife around the edges to loosen. Invert carefully onto a serving plate or cooling rack. Let cool, about 30 minutes.
  • While the cake layers are cooling, combine whipped topping, 1 cup milk, powdered sugar, 1/2 of the banana cream pudding mix, and 1/2 of the chocolate pudding mix in a bowl; mix until thoroughly combined. Mix remaining 1 1/2 cups milk and banana cream pudding mix in another bowl until smooth. Place both bowls in the refrigerator for at least 5 minutes. Save remaining chocolate pudding mix for another use.
  • Slice the tops of the cooled cake layers to make them level. Place one layer on a serving platter. Top with a single layer of banana slices arranged in a circular pattern, completely covering the cake. Spread a 1/4-inch layer of banana cream pudding on top, then repeat with another circular layer of banana slices.
  • Place the second cake layer on top. Frost the top and sides of the cake with the whipped topping mixture.
  • Decorate cake as desired with vanilla wafer cookies and remaining banana slices. I like to stand cookies around the cake bottom, top the cake with bananas, and sprinkle crushed cookies over top. Slice and enjoy immediately or refrigerate until ready to eat.

BANANA CAKE WITH PUDDING ICING



Banana Cake With Pudding Icing image

Easy, one-bowl cake with a divine icing. This is the ULTIMATE banana cake, great way to use ripe bananas, too. The icing makes a lot, but if you're like me, I'm lucky if half of it makes it onto the cake and not in my mouth/lol. Also, great to turn the cake onto a platter, so you can cover the sides with icing, too. If you like bananas, I GUARANTEEE you will LOVE this cake!!

Tips and Tricks for Making the Ultimate Banana Pudding Cake with Chocolate Icing:

  • Utilize Fresh, Perfectly Ripe Bananas: Employ bananas with speckled peels, signaling peak ripeness, resulting in an explosion of rich banana flavor.
  • Creaming the Butter and Sugar: Achieve a light and fluffy texture by creaming the butter and sugar until they become pale in color.
  • Whisking the Eggs: Instead of adding the eggs one at a time, whisk them together initially to ensure even distribution and prevent curdling.
  • Follow the Folding Technique: Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, avoiding overmixing, to maintain a moist and tender crumb.
  • Baking Temperature and Timing: Bake the cake at 350°F (175°C) for 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Perfecting the Chocolate Icing: Combine cocoa powder, milk, butter, and powdered sugar over low heat until smooth and rich.
  • Chilling: Refrigerate the cake after baking for a cleaner cut and enhanced flavor.
