Ingredients

Banana Cake:

  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, softened

  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar

  • 2 large eggs

  • 1 cup sour cream (full-fat is best)

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour

  • 1 teaspoon baking soda

  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

  • 1 cup mashed bananas (about 3 bananas)

Cream Cheese Frosting:

  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, softened

  • 1 bar (8 oz) cream cheese (full-fat is best)

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 3 cups powdered sugar

  • 2 tablespoons heavy whipping cream

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish and set aside.

  2. Prepare Batter: In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, sour cream, and vanilla extract, mixing well. Gradually blend in the flour, baking soda, and salt. Stir in the mashed bananas until just combined.

  3. Bake Cake: Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, smoothing the top with a spatula. Bake for 25-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool completely.

  4. Make Frosting: For the frosting, beat together the butter and cream cheese until smooth. Add the vanilla extract, powdered sugar, and heavy cream, beating until creamy.

  5. Frost and Serve: Spread the frosting over the cooled cake. Slice and serve.
