Banana-Sour Cream Cake With Cream Cheese Frosting image

I got this recipe from the Kraft Food and Family magazine. Each bit of this unbelievable cake brims with the sweet flavor of ripe bananas and a nutty walnut crunch. Plus, it gets a head start from a boxed cake mix to save you time. Time to make does not include cooling time.

1/2 cup butter, softened
1 (16 ounce) package powdered sugar
1 cup walnuts, finely chopped

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Grease and flour 13 x 9-inch baking pan; set aside.
  • Beat cake mix, eggs, bananas, sour cream and oil in a large bowl with electric mixer on low speed just until moistened, stopping frequently to scrape bottom and side of bowl.
  • Beat on medium speed for 2 minutes.

  • Top with remaining cake half, top-side up.
  • Frost top and sides of cake with remaining frosting.
  • Carefully press walnuts into frosting on side of cake.
  • Store any leftovers in refrigerator.
  • Tip: Neatly frost this cake by freezing cake layers about 20 minutes before frosting.
  • This helps to set the crumbs on the cut edges of the cake layers so they don't pull up into the frosting.
  • Don't worry if the frosting doesn't look perfect on the sides of the cake; the walnuts will cover any imperfections.

SOUR CREAM CHOCOLATE CAKE WITH CREAM CHEESE PEANUT BUTTER FROSTI



Sour Cream Chocolate Cake With Cream Cheese Peanut Butter Frosti image

This is from a site called Barefeet In the Kitchen, a friend sent it to me and it DOES look delish! The chef says "This is a long recipe, but a fairly simple cake to make. The chocolate cake alone is reason to make this again. This just might be the best chocolate cake I have ever had. It is made in ONE bowl and cleanup for that part of this project was a breeze." She also says the flavor is intense and should be served in the thinnest slices possible. On this site, there was no time on the prep time, I estimate about 45 minutes? Also, plan ahead, times do not include the freezing/refrigeration time. Hope this is as good as it looks! PS IT IS 2 CUPS OF FLOUR, I CAN'T SEEM TO FIX THAT ERROR IN THE INGREDIENTS.

Time 1h15m

Yield 12-16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 18

all-purpose flour
2 1/2 cups sugar
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, dutch process if possible
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup canola oil or 1 cup light flavored olive oil
1 cup sour cream
1 1/2 cups water
2 tablespoons distilled white vinegar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 eggs
8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
6 tablespoons butter, room temperature
4 cups powdered sugar
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
8 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips
3 tablespoons smooth peanut butter
1/2 cup half-and-half

Steps:

  • For the cake:
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • Generously butter the bottom and sides of three 8" round cake pans. Trace the bottom of the pans onto parchment paper with a pencil and then cut out the circles. Place the paper in the bottom of each pan and butter the paper.
  • Whisk together all dry ingredients in a large bowl.
  • Add the oil and sour cream and whisk to combine. Gradually add in the water, whisking to combine thoroughly. Add the vinegar and vanilla and whisk again to combine.
  • Whisk in the eggs and beat until well-blended. Scrape the bowl several times to make sure everything is thoroughly combined.
  • Using a one cup measuring scoop, divide the batter evenly between the three cake pans.
  • Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick or cake tester inserted in the center of the cake comes out almost clean with just crumbs.
  • Remove from the oven and let the cake cool in the pans for 20 minutes or so.
  • Very carefully, invert the cakes onto wire racks and let them cool COMPLETELY. These are very soft cakes. Once they are completely cool, wrap in saran wrap and freeze for a couple hours before assembling the cake.
  • Frosting:.
  • In a large bowl, with an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese and butter until smooth and fluffy.
  • Gradually add the powdered sugar, one cup at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition. Scrape down the sides of the bowl often. Continue to beat on medium speed for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the frosting is light and fluffy.
  • Add the peanut butter and beat until thoroughly blended.
  • To frost the cake, place one layer flat side up on a serving plate or stand. Spread about 2/3 cup of the Peanut Butter Frosting evenly over the top. Place the second layer on top and repeat. Place the last layer on top and frost the top and sides with all but about 1/2 a cup of the remaining frosting.
  • With this cake, it is a good idea to make a crumb coat with the first layer of frosting. Basically, just make sure the cake is covered in frosting, even if a few stray crumbs show through. Then you are going to chill the assembled cake again (I just placed mine back in the freezer for half an hour or so) before you add the last bit of frosting. Use the remaining bit of frosting to create a smooth final coating.
  • Once the cake is fully frosted, chill it again, to make sure the Peanut Butter Frosting is completely set before drizzling it with the Chocolate Peanut Butter Glaze.
  • The more set the first frosting is, the better the drip effect that will be created by the final glaze.
  • Glaze:.
  • In a glass bowl over a pan of simmering water, combine the chocolate and the peanut butter. Cook, whisking frequently, until all of the chocolate has melted and the mixture is completely smooth.
  • Remove from the heat and whisk in the half and half, beating until smooth again. Use while still warm.
  • To decorate with the Chocolate Peanut Butter Glaze, simply pour the chocolate glaze over the top of the cake. Using a large metal spatula , spread it evenly across the top of the cake just to the edges, so that it will create drips down the sides of the cake. Refrigerate uncovered for at least 30 minutes prior to serving.
  • Remove the cake about one hour before serving and let it rest at room temperature.

3 LAYER LEMON CHEESE CAKE W/ SOUR CREAM TOPPING



3 Layer Lemon Cheese Cake w/ Sour Cream Topping image

To create this recipe, I used ingredients from 2 of my favorite recipes to come up with this one. I took elements from my Lemon Glazed NO BAKE Cheesecake, & also from my Double Layer Key Lime Pie WHERE ONE LAYER IS BAKED, then added a lemon pie filling, then a no bake layer & then sour Cream topping it's actually 4 layers. Then garnished with yellow peeps & candied lemon rings for Easter. I made the crust from left over Irish Chunk oatmeal cookies, but you can easily use lemon sandwich,vanilla or graham Crackers or what ever you prefer. We especially enjoyed the Lemon Tart flavors.
