How to Make Banana Nutmeg Cream Cake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 ½ teaspoons baking soda, ½ teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg, and ½ cup granulated sugar.
- Add 3 ripe mashed bananas (about 1 ½ cups), ⅓ cup buttermilk, ⅓ cup vegetable oil, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract to the dry ingredients.
- Beat at low speed with an electric mixer until just combined.
- Beat on high speed for 1 minute.
- Add the remaining ⅓ cup buttermilk and 2 large egg yolks; beat on high speed for 1 minute, or until well blended.
- In a separate bowl, beat 2 large egg whites until foamy.
- Gradually add ⅓ cup granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating until stiff, glossy peaks form.
- Gently fold the beaten egg whites and ½ cup chopped pecans into the banana batter.
- Divide batter evenly between the prepared cake pans.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes before inverting onto wire racks to cool completely.
- For the frosting: In a large bowl, beat 2 cups heavy whipping cream until soft peaks form.
- Gradually add 4 cups powdered sugar and ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg, beating until stiff peaks form.
- Once cakes are completely cool, frost the top of one layer with 3 ½ cups of the whipped cream.
- Top with the second cake layer and frost the entire cake with the remaining whipped cream.
- Transfer remaining frosting to a piping bag fitted with a large star tip and decorate as desired.
- Cover and chill for at least 2 hours before serving.
