Banana Cake With Cream Cheese Frosting

Share

I hate bananas but something miraculous happens to them when you use them in cakes. I don’t know if this is just me, but the bananas that I otherwise hate, taste SO good when incorporated in cakes, and especially in this banana cake with cream cheese frosting recipe.
If you are that person too, you know what to do with all those bananas in your kitchen. Get them out, mash them and make this yummy flavourful banana cake out of them.

To be honest, this banana cake tastes fantastic just like that but a generous layer of cream-cheese frosting takes it to an all new level! This banana cake with cream cheese frosting is moist and full of flavor. If you want to add a little crunch to your cake, feel free to throw in some crushed walnuts into your cake batter just before pouring it into the tin. You can drizzle the cake with some caramel sauce or simply decorate them with walnuts as I did.

There are so many banana incorporated cakes in the Bake with Shivesh book that I have especially curated for you guys. If you haven’t got it yet, grab it here!

What icing goes with banana cake?

Banana Cakes are really forgiving when it comes to icings and toppings. This is a banana cake with cream cheese topping recipe. However, if you like whipped cream, you can totally go for that. You can also go with vanilla bean buttercream and treat yourself to the perfect banana cream with buttercream frosting. Another icing you can go with is just drizzling the banana cake with a generous layer of caramel or similarly even with salted caramel as a matter of fact.

2 Layer Banana Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting

Layering cakes is always a beautiful idea. It just makes your cake so much more presentable and consequently, the star of the show for all your parties and events.

To make this Banana Cake into a two-tiered cake, use the same measurements. After you have the complete mixture, divide it into two and pour the two mixtures into separate baking tins. If you’d like more height, you can always go with not dividing the given recipe into two and make two full cakes.
When your cakes are ready. Level them using a butter knife and use an offset spatula to layer with cream cheese frosting. You can also add the frosting on the sides or go with the plain, classic look.

      Hello! Thank you so much. That’s so sweet of you. Why don’t you start with no-bake desserts like the mocha mousse/ strawberry custard tart/ nutella tart, etc. You don’t need an oven for these recipes. Enjoy 🙂
