Instructions

  1. Pre-heat oven to 350F/180C. Grease and flour or spray an 8 or 9 inch cake pan.
  2. In a large bowl whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt, add the bananas, butter, buttermilk, eggs and vanilla. Beat for 2 minutes on medium speed.
  3. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for approximately 40-45 minutes. Test with a toothpick for doneness. Let cool in pan 15-20 minutes then move to a wire rack to cool completely. Frost with cream cheese frosting before serving. Decorate with sliced bananas if desired. Enjoy!

CREAM CHEESE FROSTING

  1. In a medium bowl beat butter, vanilla and cream cheese until creamy approximately one minute. Add icing sugar a little at a time, continue beating, add the cream beat approximately 3 minutes until fluffy.  Depending how you like your frosting, if too thin add more powdered sugar, if too thick add a drop of cream.

Notes

  • Stir together ½ tablespoon of lemon juice or white vinegar with ½ cup of milk (whole milk) in a bowl, let sit 5-10 minutes before using.
  • ½ tablespoon of lemon juice or white vinegar with ½ cup of milk (whole milk) in a bowl, let sit 5-10 minutes before using.
  • Store: Store cake covered in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days. I recommend storing away from direct sunlight.
  • Freeze: I prefer to freeze the cake without frosting, but you can store it with frosting if you like. Store cake for up to two months in the freezer.
