Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large ripe bananas
- 200 grams granulated sugar
- 50 grams brown sugar
- 115 grams unsalted butter
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 220 grams all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 120 milliliters buttermilk
- 225 grams cream cheese (for frosting)
- 240 grams powdered sugar (for frosting)
- 60 grams unsalted butter (for frosting)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for frosting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. Set aside.
In a separate bowl, cream together the unsalted butter and both granulated and brown sugars until light and fluffy.
Add the eggs one at a time to the butter mixture, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the buttermilk, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
Fold in the mashed bananas gently until fully incorporated.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
To make the frosting, beat the cream cheese and unsalted butter together in a bowl until smooth and creamy.
Gradually add the powdered sugar while mixing on low speed until fully incorporated. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Once the cake is completely cooled, spread the cream cheese frosting evenly over the top and sides of the cake.
Slice, serve, and enjoy your Banana Cake X!
