Banana Cake

We love to eat fruit at our house so our grocery list always consist of 3-4 different kinds of fruits. We like to change it up a bit in variety but one that is always on 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!

This recipe for 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..

1. 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!

There you have it! A Delicious banana cake with my favorite Peanut Butter Cream Cheese frosting! Try not to eat all the frosting before you finish frosting that Cake! 😉
