Banana Cake With Banana Frosting Food

THE BEST BANANA CAKE WITH BANANA FROSTING

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Liberally grease a 13x9" baking dish with cooking spray and set aside. In a large bowl, beat together the cake mix, brown sugar, mashed banana, cinnamon, water, oil, eggs and banana extract with a handheld electric mixer for about 2 minutes or until blended.
• Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for approx. 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean or with moist crumbs. Cool the cake completely.

In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream together the butter, mashed banana, vanilla, banana extract and lemon juice with the paddle attachment until creamy. Add in the powdered sugar, about a cup at a time, until the frosting is light and fluffy but still kind of soft. You don't want it as stiff as you normally would for say, frosting cupcakes, but it should hold its shape relatively well.
• Spread the frosting on top of the cake in an even layer. Refrigerate the cake for at least 30 minutes before cutting into squares and serving. Store leftovers airtight in the fridge for up to 4 days.

THE BEST BANANA CAKE I'VE EVER HAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C) and grease a 9×13 inch pan.
• Mash the bananas. I usually just use my mixer for this! Set mashed bananas aside.
• Whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt together. Set aside.
• Using a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the butter on high speed until smooth and creamy - about 1 minute. Add both sugars and beat on high speed for 2 minutes until creamed together. Scrape down the sides and up the bottom of the bowl with a rubber spatula as needed. Add the eggs and the vanilla. Beat on medium-high speed until combined, then beat in the mashed bananas. Scrape down the sides and up the bottom of the bowl as needed. With the mixer on low speed, add the dry ingredients in three additions alternating with the buttermilk and mixing each addition just until incorporated. Do not overmix. The batter will be slightly thick and a few lumps is OK.
• Spread batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 45-50 minutes. Baking times vary, so keep an eye on yours. The cake is done when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. If you find the top of the cake is browning too quickly in the oven, loosely cover it with aluminum foil.
• Remove the cake from the oven and set on a wire rack. Allow to cool completely. After about 45 minutes, I usually place it in the refrigerator to speed things up.
• In a large bowl using a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a paddle or whisk attachment, beat the cream cheese and butter together on high speed until smooth and creamy. Add 3 cups confectioners' sugar, vanilla, and salt. Beat on low speed for 30 seconds, then switch to high speed and beat for 2 minutes. If you want the frosting a little thicker, add the extra 1/4 cup of confectioners sugar (I add it). Spread the frosting on the cooled cake. Refrigerate for 30 minutes before serving. This helps sets the frosting and makes cutting easier.
• Cover leftover cake tightly and store in the refrigerator for 5 days.

BANANA TRAYBAKE WITH CREAM CHEESE FROSTING

Steps:

• Line a 25 x 20cm traybake tin with baking parchment and heat the oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. Tip the sugar, bananas, oil and eggs into a large bowl and whisk them together. If your bananas are very ripe then you can use a balloon whisk for this, or use a fork to mash. Add the flours, cinnamon and baking powder and whisk the mixture until everything is just combined - don't take too long over this bit as the baking powder will have started to activate. Stir in the chocolate chips, if using, and scoop the mixture into your tin. Bake for 30-40 mins or until the sponge is firm and springy to the touch and lightly browned on top. Cool in the tin.
• To make the frosting, beat the butter until it is really soft then beat in the icing sugar. Use a spatula to fold in the soft cheese, making sure it is all thoroughly mixed in. Don't be tempted to beat the mixture, this will make it runnier.
• Lift the cake carefully out of the tin, peel off the paper and transfer it to a plate or board. Spread over the frosting, making it as neat or messy as you like. Lightly dust the top with cinnamon - use a tea strainer to help with this if you have one. Cut into pieces to serve. Will keep for up to 3 days in an airtight container.

EASY BANANA CAKE WITH CREAM CHEESE FROSTING

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line an 11x17 inch jelly roll pan** (OR a 9x13 inch pan, see note) with parchment paper, or spray generously with nonstick spray.
• Make the cake. In a large bowl or stand mixer, beat 1/2 cup butter until it is smooth and creamy and there are no lumps. Scrape the sides as necessary.
• Add 1 cup sugar and 1/2 cup packed brown sugar. Beat with the butter for 1 minute, scraping the sides and bottom of the bowl.
• Add 1/4 cup oil. You can use canola oil, vegetable oil, or light tasting olive oil. Mix it in.
• In another bowl or on a plate, use a fork to smash 3 large bananas (about 1 and 1/2 cups mashed). See photos. Add to the butter mixture.
• Add 3 eggs, 3/4 cup buttermilk*, and 1/2 cup sour cream, 2 teaspoons vanilla, and 1/2 teaspoon maple extract. The maple is optional! I like the extra flavor it adds. Beat it all together until smooth, scraping the sides as necessary.
• Add 2 and 1/2 cups flour to the mixture, but don't stir yet. Make sure you spoon and level the flour (don't pack it).
• On top of the flour, add 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. If you would like to add spices (it's optional) add 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon, and 1/8 teaspoon each cloves and nutmeg. You can of course add more spices if you want (I like to focus on the banana flavor, so I want the spices to just be an accent.) Use your teaspoon to stir the soda, powder, salt and spices into the flour a little bit.
• Beat the flour mixture in, making sure to scrape the sides and bottom. Once it has come together and there are no streaks, stop mixing.
• Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake at 350 for 25-30 minutes. You will know the cake is done when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with no wet batter on it. The edges will pull away from the sides of the pan. Don't over bake! No one likes dry cake.
• Remove from the oven and set on a wire rack to cool completely.
• Meanwhile, make the cream cheese frosting. In a large bowl or stand mixer, beat together 1/2 cup softened butter and 12 ounces total softened cream cheese. (This is one 8-ounce package, plus another half package.) Beat well, scraping the sides and bottom of the bowl, until smooth and creamy. There should be no lumps at all!
• Add 2 cups of powdered sugar. Beat well.
• Add 2 teaspoons vanilla and 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt.
• Add the remaining 2 cups of powdered sugar and beat well, scraping the sides.
• When the cake is completely cool, spread the cream cheese frosting to the edges of the cake.
• Slice and serve! Store leftovers covered on the counter. You can also store it in the fridge, chilled banana cake is pretty amazing.

• Pour into two greased and floured 9 inch cake pans and bake at 350° for about 25 minutes (cake should be golden brown).
• Remove layers from pan and cool completely, then chill layers before you frost the cake (the icing is thin and it WILL RUN if cake is not cold!).
• For frosting, cream butter and sugar together and slowly add the cream.
• Add the mashed banana gradually, continuing to beat as you add it.
