Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 19

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 teaspoon allspice
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
Pinch cloves
1/2 cup 1 stick unsalted butter, room temperature
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1 1/2 cups mashed ripe bananas (about 3 large)
1 cup sour cream
2 large eggs
1 8-ounce block light or regular cream cheese, room temperature
3 tablespoons unsalted butter (room temperature)
2 cups powdered (confectioner's sugar)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
Pinch salt
Milk (only if needed for thinning the icing to a spreading consistency)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Butter and flour a 13-inch x 9-inch baking pan.
  • In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, and cloves. Set aside.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the beater blade attachment or in a large bowl using an electric mixer, beat together the butter and sugar on medium speed until pale and fluffy, about 1 - 2 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time and mix until well incorporated. Mix in the sour cream and the bananas.
  • Pour in the flour mixture, a little bit at a time, beating continuously until well-incorporated.
  • Spread batter into the prepared pan.
  • Bake for about 25 minutes, or until the top of the cake is golden and a toothpick or tester inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove the cake from the oven and place on a wire rack to cool completely.
  • To make the frosting, fit a stand mixer with the beater attachment or use a large bowl and an electric hand mixer. On medium speed, beat together the cream cheese and butter until smooth. Turn the mixer to low and gradually add the powdered sugar. Once all the powdered sugar has been added, increase the speed to medium and beat for another 30 seconds. Add the vanilla and pinch salt; beat for another minute or so until smooth. Add a little milk (a couple of teaspoons at a time) if the frosting seems too stiff to spread.
  • Spread frosting onto completely cooled cake. Cut into 12 pieces and serve. Cover and store leftover cake in the refrigerator; it keeps well (and keeps getting better) for 3 - 4 days.

BEST EVER BANANA CAKE WITH CREAM CHEESE FROSTING



Best Ever Banana Cake With Cream Cheese Frosting image

This is one of (if not) the BEST banana cake I have ever tasted! I thought the oven temp of 275° sounded a little low, but this cake baked up (and rose) beautifully in my oven at this temp after pretty much exactly one hour. I do not know if the little "freezer trick" to this recipe is what ensured its moistness or not, but I did it, and it was exceptionally moist & delicious. Would be interesting to see if it still came out as great if this step was skipped. All I know is that I followed this recipe EXACTLY as stated (except that I had no buttermilk, so I subbed with a mix of lemon juice & milk) and I got exceptional results. So moist and yummy...a dense cake, similar in texture to a carrot cake... I personally would not call this frosted banana bread :o) Depending on the amount of frosting you like you can decide whether to half the recipe or not. I used the full recipe and had some leftover. I sprinkled on the chopped walnuts and threw this baby in the fridge and cut it the next day...TO DIE FOR! I really liked it slightly chilled, but great at room temp too! It got better each day it sat, I always make this cake at least the day before I need or want it. I was extremely pleased with this cake and will be making it over & over again!! So glad I came across this one!! (on another website). (* * Just to update the recipe, (based on some of the reviews), the baking time may vary based on individual ovens. It was RIGHT ON for my oven, but some others have stated it has taken 1 hour 10 minutes, 1 hour 20 minutes, and my sister just informed me that it took 1 hour 30 minutes in her oven!!!!!)

  • Make sure to cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help to create a moist and tender cake.
  • Be careful not to overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough, dry cake.
  • If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
  • To make the cream cheese icing, be sure to use softened cream cheese. This will make it easier to mix and spread.
  • If you want a thicker icing, add more powdered sugar. If you want a thinner icing, add more milk.
