BANANA SHEET CAKE WITH PASSION-FRUIT FROSTING



Banana Sheet Cake with Passion-Fruit Frosting image

This banana-and-passion-fruit creation takes you to the tropics by way of Italy, where the vine-ripened fruit is used in sodas and all kinds of desserts. About a cup of mashed ripe banana adds moisture to the cake, while passion-fruit juice goes into the cream-cheese frosting for a fresh and naturally tart flavor.

Time 2h20m

Yield Serves 10 to 12

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 stick unsalted butter, melted and cooled, plus more, softened, for pan
1 2/3 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon kosher salt (we use Diamond Crystal)
4 large eggs, room temperature
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
3 medium ripe bananas, well mashed (1 cup)
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 teaspoons pure vanilla paste or extract
3/4 cup sour cream, room temperature
1 pound cream cheese, room temperature
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
1 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar, sifted
1/4 cup fresh passion-fruit juice (from 4 to 5), plus pulp for serving

Steps:

  • Cake: Preheat oven to 350°F. Brush a 9-by-13-inch or 8-by-12-inch baking pan with butter. Line with parchment, leaving a 2-inch overhang on long sides. Butter parchment.
  • Whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Combine eggs and granulated sugar in the bowl of a mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Beat on high speed until thick and pale, about 4 minutes. Add flour mixture; beat just to combine. Add butter, bananas, cinnamon, and vanilla; beat to combine. Add sour cream; beat until smooth.
  • Scrape batter into prepared pan, smoothing top with a spatula. Bake until top springs back when lightly touched and a tester inserted in center comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes (for 9-by-13-inch) or about 40 minutes (for 8-by-12).
  • Let cool in pan on a wire rack 10 minutes. Using parchment overhangs, lift cake out of pan and let cool completely on rack. (Cake can be made to this point and stored at room temperature, wrapped in plastic, up to 1 day.)
  • Frosting: Beat together cream cheese, butter, confectioners' sugar, and passion-fruit juice on medium-high speed until smooth and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Spread over top of cake; drizzle with passion-fruit pulp. Frosted cake is best the day it's assembled, but can be refrigerated, wrapped in plastic, up to 1 day. Return to room temperature before serving.

THE BEST BANANA CAKE



The Best Banana Cake image

This banana cake is delectably moist, perfectly sweet and easy to make. Dark brown sugar and sour cream add depth to the batter, and we added melted butter instead of vegetable oil for a flavor boost. Fluffy cream cheese frosting and swirls of dulce de leche will make you go back for seconds. We also upped the ante by using bananas in two ways -- fresh bananas are mixed into the cake while maple-candied banana chips create a crunchy topping.

Time 2h

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

Nonstick cooking spray
6 very ripe bananas
2 1/2 cups packed dark brown sugar
2 sticks (1 cup) unsalted butter, melted
1 cup sour cream
4 large eggs
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
4 cups all-purpose flour (see Cook's Note)
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter, at room temperature
6 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
2 cups confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 1/2 tablespoons dulce de leche
1 1/2 tablespoons maple syrup
1 cup banana chips

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line a 9-by-13-inch baking pan (see Cook's Note) with aluminum foil, leaving a 2-inch overhang on the two longer sides. Lightly spray the foil with nonstick cooking spray.
  • For the cake, mash the bananas in a large bowl with a fork or potato masher until very smooth. Whisk in the dark brown sugar, melted butter, sour cream, eggs and vanilla until smooth and combined. In a separate large bowl, whisk together the flour, cinnamon, baking soda and salt.
  • Fold the dry ingredients into the banana mixture in thirds until just combined. Pour into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top. Bake until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 1 hour. Leave the cake in the pan to cool slightly, about 30 minutes. Use the foil overhang to remove the cake from the pan, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Meanwhile, beat the butter, cream cheese and salt in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth. Reduce to low speed, then add the powdered sugar a cup at a time until smooth. Increase the speed to medium-high and beat until fluffy, 1 to 2 minutes. Beat in the vanilla extract.
  • Transfer 1/2 cup of the frosting to a small bowl and stir in the dulce de leche until smooth. Cover both frostings with plastic wrap and keep at room temperature until ready to assemble the cake.
  • For the candied banana chips, warm the maple syrup in a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat until it just starts bubbling. Add the banana chips and cook, tossing and stirring frequently with a rubber spatula, until the chips have absorbed almost all the maple syrup and are browned in spots, 3 to 4 minutes. Immediately transfer the banana chips to a baking sheet, spread in an even layer and cool completely. Once cool, roughly chop.
  • Transfer the cake to a serving platter. Spread about 3/4 cup plain cream cheese frosting all over the top of the cake.
  • Dollop the dulce de leche frosting and remaining plain frosting on top, then use a small offset spatula to swirl both frostings together in a swooping design, making sure the frosting goes all the way to the edges of the cake. Top with the chopped candied banana chips.
