Instructions
- For the banana cake: Preheat oven to 350° F. Lightly spray a 9'' x 13'' pan with cooking spray and set aside.
- In a large bowl, thoroughly mash the bananas until they are mostly smooth, with only some small lumps. Add the sugar, butter, and sour cream, and stir to combine. Add the eggs one at a time, stirring to combine after each addition. Then stir in the vanilla.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and allspice.
- Add half the flour mixture to the banana mixture, and fold to combine. Then add the other half of the flour mixture, folding again. Spread batter evenly in prepared pan.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until nicely browned and a toothpick comes out with no wet batter. The cake surface should not jiggle, and it should bounce back when you gently press on the center. Remove from oven and let cool completely before frosting.
- For the cinnamon cream cheese frosting: With an electric stand mixer, beat cream cheese and butter on medium to medium-high speed, until smooth. Scrape down the bowl.
- Add vanilla, cinnamon, and allspice. Beat again to combine. Scrape down the bowl.
- With the mixer on low speed, slowly add the powdered sugar until just incorporated. At this point the frosting will have a very loose consistency. Scrape down the bowl.
- Turn up speed up to medium-high and beat until frosting is thick and aerated, with a fluffy whipped texture - about 90 seconds.
- To finish: Spread frosting evenly over cake. Slice to serve.
Notes
- Store any leftover cake in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. I really like to eat this cake cold. :)
- Adapted from my favorite banana bread and banana bread muffins.
