We love to eat fruit at our house so our grocery list always consist of 3-4 different kinds of fruits. Although we do like to change it up a bit in variety, one fruit that is always makes our list are Bananas! We love eating bananas and it makes an easy snack on the go for for my little ones! The only problem is… we don’t always eat them all before they start to get mushy and no one likes a mushy banana!!! So what do I do with them??? One recipe I like to make is this here recipe for Banana Cake with Peanut butter Cream Cheese frosting!

Our Banana Cake has the best of both worlds… Bananas and peanut butter!! I can not express to you how good this is, you will just have to give it a try!
Normally I only have 2-3 Bananas that go bad before we get to them so I only make a one 9 in round cake pan but you can always double this and make a double layer cake or even one large 9×13 sheet cake. Just make sure to double your frosting as well!
How To make this Banana Cake?
It really pretty Simple..
- Start with mixing your cake batter.. All you need is Brown Sugar, White Sugar, Butter, a couple ripe bananas, vanilla,milk, sour cream and Flour and Baking soda and baking Powder.
2. Just pour this into a round, oiled and floured Cake pan and bake for 30-35 Minutes.
3. Take a knife around the edges to ensure its loose then allow to cool.
4. Carefully turn onto a plate. Allow to cool further until cake is no longer warm.
5. Mix your Peanut butter cream Cheese Frosting and frost the cake!

My boyfriend loves banana pudding and cream cheese so when I saw your banana recipe I have to make it soon.
I have learned that the organic banana last a lot longer than the store brand, and have a better flavor. Thanks and great article.
Thanks Susan! I love this combination together with just a hint of peanut butter! I would love to here what he thinks of it 🙂
Also, I have never bought organic bananas before so that is good to know!
