Equipment

  • Electric mixer
  • Mixing bowls
  • 9-inch round cake pan
  • Parchment paper
  • Cooling Rack

Ingredients

For the cake

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 large ripe bananas, mashed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¾ cup buttermilk

For the frosting

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 4 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1-2 ripe bananas, sliced (for garnish)

Instructions

  • Preparation: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan. Line the bottom with parchment paper for easy removal.
  • Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, using an electric mixer, cream the softened butter until smooth. Add the mashed bananas, eggs, and vanilla extract, and continue mixing until well combined.
  • Combining the Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with buttermilk. Begin and end with the dry mixture, and mix until the batter is smooth and well incorporated.
  • Baking: Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan. Smooth the top with a spatula. Place the prepared batter in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes clean and free of any batter residue.
  • Cooling and Frosting: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a cooling rack to cool completely. Meanwhile, prepare the frosting. Combine the softened cream cheese, softened butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract in a bowl. Beat the ingredients together until you achieve a creamy and smooth consistency.
  • Assembly: Once the cake has cooled, frost the top and sides with the cream cheese frosting. Decorate with sliced bananas on top.
