Bake up a refreshing Banana Cake with Banana Cream Cheese Frosting. It tastes so fresh and delicious, which I attribute to the wonderful banana cream cheese frosting.
1cupripe bananas (about 2-3 medium-sized bananas)peeled and mashed
1cupwater
1/2cupoil
3largeeggs
2tspbanana extractor banana liqueur if desired
For the frosting:
1/4cupbutter softened
8oz.block of cream cheese softened
1/2cupripe bananapeeled and mashed (about 1 medium banana)
1tspvanilla extract
1-2tspbanana extract
1tsplemon juice
3cupspowdered sugaruse less if you would like it less sweet
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350-f degrees. Spray a 9x13-inch baking pan well with cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, combine all of the cake ingredients together and beat with a hand mixer for about 2 minutes. Pour into prepared cake pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean with only a few crumbs on it. Cool completely.
Prepare the frosting. Cream all ingredients together except the powdered sugar in a large mixing bowl, until creamy and well incorporated.
Note: If you have any stubborn chunks of cream cheese that won’t blend in, that means your cream cheese was too cold. You can try to fix this by putting the frosting in microwave for a few seconds and beating again.
Add in the powdered sugar one cup at a time, until light and fluffy and as sweet as you like it. Frost the cooled cake and transfer to the fridge to chill for at least 30 minutes before serving. Keep leftovers in the fridge.
