Time 40m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 6

¾ cup butter, divided
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese
1 vanilla bean, split and scraped
½ fluid ounce bourbon whiskey
4 cups confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons heavy cream

Steps:

  • Melt 1/2 cup butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir occasionally and cook until the milk solids turn brown and give off a nutty fragrance, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Combine the remaining 1/4 butter and cream cheese in a mixing bowl. Pour the browned butter into the mixing bowl and set aside for about three minutes, letting the warm butter soften the cream cheese and cold butter. Scrape the black seeds from the vanilla bean and add them to the bowl. Add the bourbon and mix on low speed until smooth.
  • Gradually add the confectioners' sugar and cream, alternating between the two, until the proper consistency is reached. If the frosting is too soft for decorating, refrigerate it for about half an hour before using.

BANANA CAKE WITH BOURBON CREAM CHEESE FROSTING



Banana Cake With Bourbon Cream Cheese Frosting image

Moist and dense and no nuts! This is always my husband's birthday cake. (And great for breakfast too! But you didn't hear me say that.)

Provided by Daymented

Categories     Dessert

Time 50m

Yield 12-16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 1/2 cups flour
1 tablespoon baking soda
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1 cup white sugar
3/4 cup light brown sugar
2 eggs
4 ripe bananas, mashed
2/3 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 (8 ounce) box cream cheese, softened
4 cups powdered sugar
50 ml Bourbon (an airline bottle)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°.
  • Grease and flour two 8" round pans.
  • In a small bowl whisk together flour, soda, and salt.
  • In a large bowl, cream butter, white sugar and brown sugar until fluffy.
  • Beat in eggs one at a time.
  • Mix in bananas*.
  • Add flour mixture alternately with the buttermilk to the creamed mixture.
  • Pour into cake pans.
  • Bake for 30 minutes.
  • While the cake is baking, make frosting: beat butter and cream cheese until smooth, then add powdered sugar and Bourbon- if the amount of booze scares you, add less, or use bourbon flavoring.
  • *Wefreeze overripe bananas- when it's time to use them, we place them in a cup of hot water for just a few minutes, and they slide right out of their peel.
  • Once the cakes cool, frost them- the cake (stacked) is pretty heavy and dense, so don't expect a tall fluffy cake.
  • Stays moist for days if covered properly.

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, room temperature
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
1 (1-pound) box confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Steps:

  • With the mixer on low, slowly add sugar, scraping down the sides of the bowls as necessary.

  • To make a chocolate cream cheese frosting, add 1/2 cup of unsweetened cocoa powder to the powdered sugar.
  • For a vanilla cream cheese frosting, add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the powdered sugar.
  • Store the frosting in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
