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!!!!!)

BEST EVER BANANA CAKE



Best Ever Banana Cake image

I know, shameless self promotion in the title is lame. But when my mother-in-law says that this is the best banana cake she has ever tasted, you should take notice! This recipe combines three elements to provide a sweet excuse to put those last three questionable banana to use. I am a 'save the best for last' kind of person...

Provided by Rick Bruyns

Categories     Cakes

Time 1h20m

Number Of Ingredients 17

CRUMBLE
1/4 c butter
1/2 c sugar
1 tsp cinnimon
1 c oat meal
CAKE
1/2 c butter
1 1/2 c sugar
2 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
3 bananas
1 c chopped pecans
2 c flour self rising
FROSTING
3/4 c butter
1 Tbsp maple syrup
2 c confectioner sugar

Steps:

  • 1. First, preheat the oven to 300ºF and grease a 9 x 13 cake pan. I always forget these steps.
  • 2. Crumble: Combine all the crumble ingredients in a medium sized mixing bowl. If the bowl is too small, the ingredients slide up and out of the bowl while mixing. I use a pastry knife to mix until all the ingredients are tacky with butter. Spread this out evenly in the bottom of the cake pan. I pat it down with my hand to get it to stick together so that when I add the cake batter no holes form and no crumble floats.
  • 3. Cake: I use a stand mixer instead of a hand mixer and just never turn it off through the whole process. Start by adding the butter with the mixer on low. Now start to slowly add the rest of the ingredients except the flour in the order they are listed. Let the mixer do the work of beating the eggs and mashing the bananas increasing the mixer speed to high for a minute or two. Return the mixer speed to low and slowly add the flour. Once everything is well mixed, pour the batter over the crumble and bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour. Leave cake in the pan and let it cool before frosting.
  • 4. Frosting: Once the cake is in the oven you have plenty of time to clean up the mixer and make the frosting. Again, start with the butter with the mixer on low. Add the pancake syrup, maple is my favorite, and slowly add the confectioner sugar. If you have gone to far adding the confectioner sugar and the frosting becomes too stiff to spread easily, sprinkle cold water into the mix until it is manageable again. A little water goes a long way. Spread frosting on completely cooled cake.

THE BEST BANANA CAKE I'VE EVER HAD | SALLY'S BAKING ADDICTION



The Best Banana Cake I've Ever Had | Sally's Baking Addiction image

This is absolutely the best banana cake I've ever had! It's supremely moist with cream cheese frosting, tons of banana, brown sugar, and cinnamon flavor.

Provided by @MakeItYours

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 large ripe bananas (about 1 and 1/2 cups mashed)
3 cups (375g) all-purpose flour (spoon & leveled)
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup (170g) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
1/2 cup (100g) packed light or dark brown sugar
3 large eggs, at room temperature
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 and 1/2 cups (360ml) buttermilk, at room temperature1

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C) and grease a 9x13 inch pan. Make the cake: Mash the bananas. I usually just use my mixer for this! Set mashed bananas aside. Whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt together. Set aside. Using a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the butter on high speed until smooth and creamy - about 1 minute. Add both sugars and beat on high speed for 2 minutes until creamed together. Scrape down the sides and up the bottom of the bowl with a rubber spatula as needed. Add the eggs and the vanilla. Beat on medium-high speed until combined, then beat in the mashed bananas. Scrape down the sides and up the bottom of the bowl as needed. With the mixer on low speed, add the dry ingredients in three additions alternating with the buttermilk and mixing each addition just until incorporated. Do not overmix. The batter will be slightly thick and a few lumps is OK. Spread batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 45-50 minutes. Baking times vary, so keep an eye on yours. The cake is done when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. If you find the top of the cake is browning too quickly in the oven, loosely cover it with aluminum foil. Remove the cake from the oven and set on a wire rack. Allow to cool completely. After about 45 minutes, I usually place it in the refrigerator to speed things up. Make the frosting: In a large bowl using a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a paddle or whisk attachment, beat the cream cheese and butter together on high speed until smooth and creamy. Add 3 cups confectioners' sugar, vanilla, and salt. Beat on low speed for 30 seconds, then switch to high speed and beat for 2 minutes. If you want the frosting a little thicker, add the extra 1/4 cup of confectioners sugar (I add it). Spread the frosting on the cooled cake. Refrigerate for 30 minutes before serving. This helps sets the frosting and makes cutting easier. Cover leftover cake tightly and store in the refrigerator for 5 days. Make ahead tip: Prepare cake through step 5. Cover the cake tightly and refrigerate for up to 2 days or freeze up to 3 months. Bring to room temperature, make the frosting, frost, and serve. Frosted cake freezes well, up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator, bring to room temperature or serve cold.
