Banana Cake with the “BEST” Cream Cheese Icing

September 5, 2011 by Angie 4 Comments

This is such an ole timey cake. I have looked for one close to this and have combined many different elements and think I have it pretty close to what I remember. It has lots of banana flavor and this is the BEST really is the best cream cheese icing!

Cake
3 1/4 cups all purpose flour  ~ I like King Arthur unbleached 
1 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 sticks butter room temperature
2 cups sugar
3 large eggs
3 large bananas ~ mashed 
2 teaspoon vanilla 
1 1/2 cup whole buttermilk
 * Preheat oven to 350 
 *Prepare your baking pans ~ I used 6 – six inch pans.  
Note ~ I like to make smaller cakes, 1 for us and 1 for a friend.
 
  1. Grease your pans and  line bottom with parchment paper.
  2. Sift flour, baking soda, and salt in mixing bowl set aside
  3. In a standing mixing bowl and paddle cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy about 5 minutes.
  4. Add your eggs one at the time making sure each one is thoroughly mixed in before adding the next, scraping down your bowl each time.
  5. Once all eggs are add and combined add your mashed bananas , vanilla and mix until combined completely.
  6. Add half the flour mixture then half the buttermilk just until combined do not over mix then add the remaining flour and buttermilk. Make sure all is incorporated completely.
  7. Pour batter evenly in each pan. Bake about 40 minutes depending on your size of pans may take little less or little more. 
  8. Let cool completely before icing these cakes are better if they sit iced for 2 days before serving. Makes the cake so most and wonderful! 

 

Cream Cheese Icing 

This is the best cream cheese icing I have ever tasted ~ THE BEST!
 
3 sticks of salted butter – room temperature
1 – 8oz cream cheese – room temperature 
1 box of 10X powder sugar
2 teaspoon vanilla 
  1. Beat butter and cream cheese in a standing mixer with paddle until light and fluffy about 5 minutes. Once it is nice smooth and all lumps are gone. 
  2. Add powder sugar and mix on low until mixed completely. 
  3. Add vanilla and salt mix in completely about 1 minute.
  4. Ice cake with an offset spatula, cover and refrigerate. 

   This is enough icing to ice any of the choices you make ~ it is enough for the 2 six inch cakes or the other combos.
