How to Make Bananas And Cream Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Position oven rack to the second-lowest position.
  2. Grease and flour two 8-inch round baking pans, or one 13x9-inch baking pan.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg.
  4. In a large bowl, beat 3 large eggs until light and fluffy. Add 1 1/2 cups packed light brown sugar and beat until thick and pale.
  5. Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and 2 mashed ripe bananas.
  6. In a medium bowl, whip 1 cup heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
  7. Gradually beat half of the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined.
  8. Gently fold in the whipped cream, then fold in the remaining dry ingredients until just combined.
  9. Fold in 1/2 cup chopped pecans (optional).
  10. Divide batter evenly between prepared pans.
  11. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  12. Let cakes cool in pans for 10 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  13. For the cream cheese frosting: In a mixing bowl, beat together 8 ounces cream cheese (softened), 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter (softened), and 3 cups powdered sugar until smooth and creamy.
  14. Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  15. Once cakes are completely cool, frost the layers and the top of the cake.
