Ingredients

– bananas – Whole milk – Lemon juice – Baking soda – Salt – Butter – Large eggs – Granulated sugar – Brown sugar – Vanilla – Cream cheese – Lemon zest – Lemon juice – Powdered sugar

Step 1:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Mash up 3 large bananas, add 1 tablespoon of lemon juice to them, and set aside. Pour 1 ½ tablespoons of lemon juice into a measuring cup, and add in 1 ½ cups of milk. Set the milk mixture aside for later use. Using a stand mixer, beat together ⅔ cup room temperature butter, 1 cup granulated sugar and ½ cup brown sugar. Slowly add in 3 eggs a little at a time to the butter mixture. Pour in 1 teaspoon of vanilla, and beat the butter and sugar mixture until it is fluffy and creamy. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking soda and salt. Add the flour mixture a little at a time to the butter mixture, alternating with a bit of the milk and lemon mixture. Be sure not to overmix the batter at this time.

Step 2:

Once all of the flour mixture and milk have been incorporated into the cake mix, fold in the mashed bananas, and pour the batter into a greased 13x9 pan. Bake the cake in the oven for 60 minutes, or until a knife comes out clean when inserted into the center. When the cake has finished cooking, set it off to the side to cool. In a mixing bowl, beat together ½ cup of softened butter and 8 ounces of cream cheese until well blended. Add in 1 teaspoon of lemon juice and 1 ½ teaspoons  of lemon zest. Slowly add in 3 cups of powdered sugar a little at a time. Mix until you have reached the desired icing texture. Once the cake has cooled, top it with a thick layer of icing. Top the slices of cake with freshly cut bananas, and serve. Enjoy!
