Whisk in the coconut oil, yogurt, peanut butter, sugar, salt and vanilla until smooth and incorporated. Add the flour, baking soda and baking powder. Use a rubber spatula to stir until combined being careful not to over mix.
• Divide the batter among the 2 prepared pans and bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until firm to the touch and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out only a few crumbs. Allow to cool for 30 minutes in the pan. Unmold the cakes and allow them to cool completely on a wire rack.
• In a medium bowl combine the cream cheese, butter, peanut butter and salt. Using a hand held mixer, beat on medium speed until light and fluffy. Add the powdered sugar and slowly beat again, increasing the speed as the sugar gets incorporated.

Place the other layer, top side down, on the frosting. Dollop the remaining frosting in the center of the top layer. Using the offset spatula, slowly work the frosting over the top and down the sides of the cake until the cake is evenly covered. Sprinkle the top with the mini chips.

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.
