Ingredients:

  • 3 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Ripe Banana
First, preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Peel and mash the bananas in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

In a mixing bowl, cream the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, and mix until well combined. Add the mashed bananas and mix until just combined. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the mixing bowl, alternating with the milk, and mix until just combined.

Pour the batter into a greased 9x13 inch baking pan and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Let cool completely.

Baking Tips
If you don't have overripe bananas on hand, you can speed up the ripening process by placing them in a brown paper bag for a day or two. You can also freeze the overripe bananas for later use in baking.

To prevent the cake from sticking to the pan, make sure to grease the pan generously with butter or cooking spray.

If you want to add a crunch to the cake, you can mix in chopped walnuts or pecans to the banana cake batter before baking.
