THE BEST BANANA CAKE
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.

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.
BANANA NUT CAKE FROM CAKE MIX
I think my family leaves bananas to ripen beyond eating, just so I will bake something for them! Here is my solution today to 3 bananas hanging on the fruit stand. Tastes a lot like banana bread, but softer and sweeter, and the topping sends it to the next level!

Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease and flour a 9" x 13" cake pan, or spray with Baker's Joy coating.
- 2. Mash bananas. With a mixer, beat in eggs, oil, and buttermilk. Add cake mix and beat at medium speed for 2 minutes, scraping bowl once during mixing. Stir in pecans.
- 3. Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake in center of oven for 30-35 minutes, until cake tests done in center (springs back when lightly touched). Cool cake in pan.
- 4. To make frosting: Use a DEEP saucepan. Bring milk, butter, and sugar to a rolling boil for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring constantly. Test by dropping 1/4 teaspoon on cold plate; it should form a small thick mound. Remove from heat and stir in pecans and vanilla. Let cool slightly, then spoon over top of cake. Allow to cool completely before serving.

"Boxed pudding and cake mixes speed up the preparation of this moist banana cake," comments Karen Ann Bland of Gove, Kansas. "It doesn't last long at our house. In fact, my family and the hired men have it finished almost before it has time to cool."

Tips:
- Use ripe bananas. The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your cake will be.
- Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help to incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a lighter and more tender cake.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. This will help to prevent the batter from curdling.
- Fold in the dry ingredients gradually. Overmixing can result in a tough cake.
- Bake the cake in a preheated oven. This will help to ensure that the cake bakes evenly.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
