Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 °F. Grease and flour two round 8-inch pans and set aside. You can also use a 9x13 pan.
  2. Whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, until fully combined, then stir in the vanilla and the mashed bananas.
  4. Add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture alternating with buttermilk, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Combine until smooth. Stir in nuts if wanted.
  5. Divide the batter between the two prepared pans.
  6. Bake in the oven for 25-35 minutes for the round pans, around 35-40 for the 9x13 pan, until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  7. Remove and cool the cakes in the pans for 10 minutes, then turn out onto wire baking racks to cool.
  8. Once cooled, prepare my cream cheese frosting. Place one cake on a plate then cover with icing. Place the other cake on top, then frost completely. If making in the 9x13, only make half the icing recipe and frost the top of the cake.
  9. Tops with walnuts and sliced fresh bananas if desired right serving. Slice and serve.
