Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Moist Banana Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting.
Step 1
Begin by preheating your oven to a cozy 275°F (135°C) and generously greasing a 9x13-inch baking pan to ensure your cake releases effortlessly.
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix the mashed bananas with a splash of lemon juice and set this fruity blend aside.
Step 3
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt, creating a dry mixture that will add structure to your cake.
Step 4
In a large mixing bowl, cream the sugar and butter together until the mixture is light and fluffy, which should take about 3 to 4 minutes of your time.
Step 5
Introduce the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is well incorporated before adding the next, then stir in the fragrant vanilla extract.
Step 6
Gradually fold the dry flour mixture into the buttery blend, alternating with the buttermilk, mixing just until everything is combined.
Step 7
Gently fold in the banana mixture, allowing those flavors to meld beautifully.
Step 8
Pour the luscious batter into your prepared baking pan, smoothing the top for an even bake.
Step 9
Place the pan in the preheated oven and let it bake for approximately 1 hour, or until a toothpick inserted into the center emerges clean, signaling that your cake is ready.
Step 10
Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and pop it directly into the freezer for 45 minutes; this little trick enhances the cake's moisture and texture.
Step 11
While the cake cools, whip up the frosting by creaming together the butter and cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
Step 12
Add in the vanilla, then gradually mix in the confectioners' sugar, starting on low speed and increasing to high until the frosting is perfectly smooth.
Step 13
Once the cake has cooled, generously spread the frosting over the top, slice into delightful pieces, and savor every bite of your delicious creation!.
