Instructions
Make the Cake:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- In a large bowl, mash 4 large ripe bananas. Stir in 1 stick melted butter.
- Use an electric mixer to add 2 eggs, ½ cup brown sugar, ½ cup granulated sugar, 1 tsp vanilla, 2 tsp cinnamon, and 1 ½ cups buttermilk.
- In a separate bowl, combine 2 cups flour, 1 tsp baking soda, 1 tsp baking powder, and ⅛ tsp salt.
- Add dry mixture into the wet mixture, and mix until combined and then for 1 ½ minutes.
- Grease a 9x13 pan and pour the batter into the pan. Bake for 30 minutes, remove from oven and cover top with aluminum foil. Continue baking for another 20 minutes.
Make the Frosting:
- In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together 8 tbsp butter and 8 oz cream cheese on high speed until smooth and creamy.
- Add in 3 cups powdered sugar, 1 tsp vanilla, and ⅛ tsp salt. Beat on low speed for 30 seconds to combine, then switch to high speed and beat for two minutes.

- You can also make this cake recipe in a stand mixer if you prefer. Use the paddle attachment for the batter and the whisk attachment for the frosting.
- Do not overmix the batter or the cake could end up tough.
- Make sure your eggs are room temperature. This allows them to get more fluffy as you mix!
- Only add the powdered sugar one cup at a time for the frosting if you want to avoid a mess from your electric hand mixer.
- You can also try out this recipe for
- Honey Cream Cheese Frosting
- instead if you’d like!
- If you find that this cake (or any) is losing a lot of crumbs as you try to frost it, try freezing the cake. This is a great way to make sure that the cake stays in one piece while frosting!
- Bananas: Make sure you use overripe bananas with lots of brown spots! The riper the banana, the more sweet your Banana Cake will be.
- Brown Sugar: I use dark brown sugar, but light brown sugar will work as well. Make sure to pack the sugar into the measuring cup for the right amount.
- Flour: All purpose flour
- Butter: I prefer to use unsalted butter.
- Cream Cheese: Full fat cream cheese if possible. Low Fat cream cheese will also work, but the frosting will be less rich.
