How to Make Double Banana Cake With Cream Cheese Frosting
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round baking pans.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon salt.
- In a small bowl, mash 4 ripe bananas with 1 tablespoon lemon juice.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in 4 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with 1 cup buttermilk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- Gently fold in the mashed banana mixture until evenly distributed.
- Divide batter evenly between the prepared pans.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let cakes cool in pans for 10 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- **Cream Cheese Frosting:** In a large bowl, beat 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter until smooth. Beat in 16 ounces cream cheese until smooth. Add 4 cups powdered sugar gradually, beating on low speed then increasing to high until light and fluffy. Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Once cakes are completely cool, frost the top of one layer with a generous amount of cream cheese frosting. Top with sliced bananas. Add the second cake layer and frost the entire cake with the remaining frosting.
- Sprinkle with sliced roasted honey almonds and extra banana slices (optional).
- Serve and enjoy! Serves 6-8.
