How to Make Banana Nut Cake With Cream Cheese Frosting Paula Deen

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy.
3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla.
4. In a separate bowl, mash the bananas. Add the mashed bananas, sour cream, and buttermilk to the wet ingredients. Mix well.
5. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
7. Stir in the chopped nuts.
8. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans.
9. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
10. Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes before inverting them onto a wire rack to cool completely.
11. While the cakes are cooling, prepare the cream cheese frosting:
12. Beat the softened butter until smooth. Gradually beat in the powdered sugar until combined.
13. Add the cream cheese and vanilla extract; beat until light and fluffy.
14. Once the cakes are completely cool, frost the top of one layer with a generous amount of frosting.
15. Carefully place the second cake layer on top and frost the entire cake.
