Deliciously Moist Banana Cake Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 Cups Mashed ripe bananas
- 2 tsp Lemon juice
- 3 Cups AP flour
- 1 1/2 tsp Baking Soda
- 1/4 tsp Salt
- 3/4 Cup Butter softened
- 2 Cups Sugar
- 3 Eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla
- 1 1/2 Cups Buttermilk
- 1/2 Cup Unsalted butter softened
- 8 oz Cream cheese softened
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 3 1/2 Cups Powdered sugar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 275°F. Grease and flour a 9 x 13 pan.
- In a small bowl, mix mashed bananas with the lemon juice; set aside.
- In a medium bowl, mix flour, baking soda and salt; set aside.
- In a large bowl with an electric mixer, cream 3/4 cup butter and 2 cups sugar until light and fluffy; about 3 minutes. Beat in eggs, one at a time, then stir in 2 teaspoons of vanilla.
- Beat in the flour mixture alternately with the buttermilk until just combined. Stir in mashed bananas.
- Pour batter into prepared pan and bake in preheated oven for 60-75 minutes, or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. This could take longer than 75 minutes depending on your oven.
- Remove from oven and place directly into the freezer for 45 minutes. This will make the cake extremely moist.
- For the frosting, cream the butter and cream cheese until smooth. Add in 1 teaspoon vanilla and mix until incorporated.
- Add powdered sugar and beat on low speed until combined, then on high speed until frosting is smooth.
- Spread on cooled cake and devour!
