How to Make Banana Nut Cake With Whipped Cream Frosting
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease and flour a 9x13x2 inch oblong pan, or three 8-inch or two 9-inch round layer pans.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine all ingredients EXCEPT the frosting ingredients.
- Beat on low speed for 30 seconds, scraping the bowl constantly.
- Beat on high speed for 3 minutes, scraping the bowl occasionally.
- Pour batter into the prepared pan(s).
- Bake until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean: 45-50 minutes for an oblong pan, 35-40 minutes for layers.
- Let the cake cool completely in the pan before frosting.
- While the cake cools, prepare the whipped cream frosting (see below).
- Once the cake is completely cool, frost with whipped cream frosting and garnish with fresh banana slices (lightly tossed with lemon juice to prevent browning).
