This is SO good! The best banana recipe I’ve ever made!
I found this banana cake just perfect! It turned out great!
Ingredients for Banana Cake With Cream Cheese Frosting:
1 1⁄2 cups bananas, mashed, ripe
2 teaspoons lemon juice
3 cups flour
1 1⁄2 teaspoons baking soda
1⁄4 teaspoon salt
3⁄4 cup butter, softened
2 1⁄8 cups sugar
3 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 1⁄2 cups buttermilk
Frosting:
1⁄2 cup butter, softened
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 1⁄2 cups icing sugar
Garnish:
chopped walnuts
How to make for Banana Cake With Cream Cheese Frosting:
Step1: Preheat oven to 275°.
Step2: Grease and flour a 9 x 13 pan.
Step3: In a small bowl, mix mashed banana with the lemon juice; set aside.
Step4: In a medium bowl, mix flour, baking soda and salt; set aside.
Step5: In a large bowl, cream 3/4 cup butter and 2 1/8 cups sugar until light and fluffy.
Step6: Beat in eggs, one at a time, then stir in 2 tsp vanilla.
