Ingredients
For the cake:
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 10 tablespoons unsalted butter at cool room temperature, 142 grams
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar 100 grams
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar 100 grams
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 egg large
- 1 1/3 cups banana from about 4 medium bananas, mashed
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup milk whole
- 3/4 cup walnut chopped, from California
For the frosting:
- 8 ounces cream cheese at cool room temperature
- 1 unsalted butter at cool room temperature, stick, 113 grams
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups powdered sugar sifted, 250 grams
- walnut for garnish, chopped
Instructions
Make the cake:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Generously grease a 9 by 13-inch baking pan.
- In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat the butter and sugars on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add in the vanilla and then the eggs, one at a time. On low speed, beat in half the dry ingredients then the bananas, sour cream, and milk. Beat in the remaining dry ingredients. Gently stir in the walnuts. Do not overmix.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for about 35 minutes, or until a cake tester inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow to cool completely. Unfrosted cake can be well wrapped and frozen for up to 2 months. Thaw at room temperature before frosting.
Make the frosting:
- In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese, butter, and vanilla on medium-high speed until very light, creamy, and smooth. On low speed gradually add in the sugar and beat until fluffy.
- Spread the frosting over the cooled cake. Garnish with chopped walnuts. For cleaner cuts, refrigerate for 30 minutes before slicing and serving. Store in the fridge for up to 3 days. Serve at room temperature.
