THE BEST BANANA CAKE I'VE EVER HAD
This is absolutely the best banana cake I've ever had! It's supremely moist with cream cheese frosting, tons of banana, brown sugar, and cinnamon flavor.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C) and grease a 9×13 inch pan.
- Mash the bananas. I usually just use my mixer for this! Set mashed bananas aside.
- Whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt together. Set aside.
- Using a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the butter on high speed until smooth and creamy - about 1 minute. Add both sugars and beat on high speed for 2 minutes until creamed together. Scrape down the sides and up the bottom of the bowl with a rubber spatula as needed. Add the eggs and the vanilla. Beat on medium-high speed until combined, then beat in the mashed bananas. Scrape down the sides and up the bottom of the bowl as needed. With the mixer on low speed, add the dry ingredients in three additions alternating with the buttermilk and mixing each addition just until incorporated. Do not overmix. The batter will be slightly thick and a few lumps is OK.
- Spread batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 45-50 minutes. Baking times vary, so keep an eye on yours. The cake is done when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. If you find the top of the cake is browning too quickly in the oven, loosely cover it with aluminum foil.
- Remove the cake from the oven and set on a wire rack. Allow to cool completely. After about 45 minutes, I usually place it in the refrigerator to speed things up.
- In a large bowl using a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a paddle or whisk attachment, beat the cream cheese and butter together on high speed until smooth and creamy. Add 3 cups confectioners' sugar, vanilla, and salt. Beat on low speed for 30 seconds, then switch to high speed and beat for 2 minutes. If you want the frosting a little thicker, add the extra 1/4 cup of confectioners sugar (I add it). Spread the frosting on the cooled cake. Refrigerate for 30 minutes before serving. This helps sets the frosting and makes cutting easier.
- Cover leftover cake tightly and store in the refrigerator for 5 days.

THE BEST BANANA CAKE
This banana cake is delectably moist, perfectly sweet and easy to make. Dark brown sugar and sour cream add depth to the batter, and we added melted butter instead of vegetable oil for a flavor boost. Fluffy cream cheese frosting and swirls of dulce de leche will make you go back for seconds. We also upped the ante by using bananas in two ways -- fresh bananas are mixed into the cake while maple-candied banana chips create a crunchy topping.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line a 9-by-13-inch baking pan (see Cook's Note) with aluminum foil, leaving a 2-inch overhang on the two longer sides. Lightly spray the foil with nonstick cooking spray.
- For the cake, mash the bananas in a large bowl with a fork or potato masher until very smooth. Whisk in the dark brown sugar, melted butter, sour cream, eggs and vanilla until smooth and combined. In a separate large bowl, whisk together the flour, cinnamon, baking soda and salt.
- Fold the dry ingredients into the banana mixture in thirds until just combined. Pour into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top. Bake until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 1 hour. Leave the cake in the pan to cool slightly, about 30 minutes. Use the foil overhang to remove the cake from the pan, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Meanwhile, beat the butter, cream cheese and salt in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth. Reduce to low speed, then add the powdered sugar a cup at a time until smooth. Increase the speed to medium-high and beat until fluffy, 1 to 2 minutes. Beat in the vanilla extract.
- Transfer 1/2 cup of the frosting to a small bowl and stir in the dulce de leche until smooth. Cover both frostings with plastic wrap and keep at room temperature until ready to assemble the cake.
- For the candied banana chips, warm the maple syrup in a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat until it just starts bubbling. Add the banana chips and cook, tossing and stirring frequently with a rubber spatula, until the chips have absorbed almost all the maple syrup and are browned in spots, 3 to 4 minutes. Immediately transfer the banana chips to a baking sheet, spread in an even layer and cool completely. Once cool, roughly chop.
- Transfer the cake to a serving platter. Spread about 3/4 cup plain cream cheese frosting all over the top of the cake.
- Dollop the dulce de leche frosting and remaining plain frosting on top, then use a small offset spatula to swirl both frostings together in a swooping design, making sure the frosting goes all the way to the edges of the cake. Top with the chopped candied banana chips.
THE MOST FABULOUS BANANA CAKE
This is from the December 2001 edition of Better Homes & Gardens magazine. It looks awesome, and promises to be dense and moist.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 180°C Butter and flour a 26cm deep ring tin.
- ut the flour, baking powder,salt, and bicarb in a food processor and whiz them to combine. Tip the mixture out into a bowl.
- Mash the bananas an measure out 1 cup of banana pulp. Scrape this into the food processor and puree it until smooth. Add the sugar and eggs, and whizz everything together for a minute. Add the butter and whizz it for a minute more, until the mixture is thick and creamy. Now, add the buttermilk and vanilla, and pulse the processor with quick on/off bursts just to mix them inches Finally, add the flour mixture and again mix it in quick bursts, scraping down the sides once or twice, so it's only just combined.
- Scoop the batter evenly into the tin and smooth it out evenly. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a fine skewer comes out clean. (Don't be surprised if the cake doesn't rise a lot; it's rather dense.
- When it's ready, leave the cake to cool in the tin on a rack for about 7 minutes. Then, gently loosen it around the edges and invert it onto a rack to cool.
- While the cake is cooling, make the icing. In a food processor, whiz together the cream cheese and butter so they're well mixed. Add the icing sugar and vanilla and process until smooth.
- When the cake is cool, put it onto a serving plate. Split it into two layers by carefully cutting around the circumference with a long, serrated knife. Spread some icing on the bottom layer, then sandwich the two halves back together again. Spread a thick layer of icing all over the cake and smooth it as best you can with a long palette knife.
- Serve the cake right away or refrigerate it. It keeps well for up to 5 days. Either leave the top plain or decorate with toasted pecans.

MY FAVORITE GLAZED BANANA CAKE
I've searched high and low for the *perfect* banana cake; well, I think I've found it! This is moist and delicious, easy to make, and the perfect way to use up the oldest, blackest bananas you can find. The glaze topping is a nice change from the typical cream cheese icing, because it's not overpowering--it really allows the full flavor of the banana cake to shine through. Use your choice of ground walnuts or ground pecans in this cake--I've tried both, and either one works fine. I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as I do !! I think it's just fantastic!! (Chris says it reminds him of Entemann's banana cake, only better! How's that for a compliment!) Number of servings depends on how big you make your slices.

- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Liberally grease a 9x13" rectangular baking pan with cooking spray; set aside.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy and pale in color, about 2 minutes. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition, followed by the vanilla extract. Beat in the baking soda, cinnamon and salt. Alternate adding in the flour with the mashed bananas and sour cream, until fully incorporated. Pour into the prepared pan and spread in an even layer.
- Bake for 30-40 minutes or until a toothpick or cake tester inserted near the center comes out clean or with moist, not wet, crumbs. Cool completely.
- For the frosting: in a bowl of a stand mixer, cream together the butter, cream cheese, and vanilla extract until smooth, about 1 minute. Gradually add in the confectioners' sugar, about 1 cup at a time, until frosting is light, fluffy, and spreadable. Spread the frosting evenly over the cooled cake. I like to refrigerate the cake for about an hour, covered, to set but it can totally be served right away. Store leftovers covered in the fridge.
