Ingredients
  

Banana Cake
  • 1/2 cup 1 stick, butter softened
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated Sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup of sour cream heavy-fat is the best
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup mashed bananas about 3 bananas
Cream Cheese Frosting
  • 1/2 cup 1 stick, butter softened
  • 1 bar 8 oz. Cream cheese full fat is best
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 cups powdered Sugar
  • 2 tablespoons heavy whipping crème

Method
 

  1. Turn oven on to 350°F. Spray a 9x13 baking pan with cooking spray. Set aside.
  2. Use a large bowl and a hand mixer to cream butter and sugar until they are light and fluffy.
  3. It will appear crumbly, but if you beat it for a few minutes it will become fluffy.
  4. Add eggs, sour-cream, and vanilla. Blend until smooth.
  5. Add flour, baking soda and salt. Blend on low speed until well combined
  6. Mix in the mashed banana. Spread the batter in the baking dish.
  7. Cook for between 25 and 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out with moistcrumbs or none. You may need to cook the toothpick a little longer if it comes out with wet batter. The edges and the top will be lightly browned.
  8. Before frosting, let the cake cool completely.
  9. After the cake has cooled, you have two options: Frost it immediately and serve it or cover it with tin foil so it can sit at room temperature overnight before frosting it.
  10. Frosting with Make-Cheese Cheese
Mix butter and cream cheese in a large bowl until well combined. Vanilla extract, powdered Sugar, and heavy Cream are all you need to make this recipe a success. Mix together on low speed until you get a frosting-like consistency.
  1. You can add more powdered sugar or milk until you reach the desired frosting consistency. I don't need to add any more powdered sugar or milk than is necessary. To make the frosting cut well, you need it to be thick.
  2. * NOTICE: Use heavy whipping cream only. Start with one tablespoon. Heavy cream is thick and you will need more. Lower fat milks will require less.
  3. Slice into squares, and top each one with chopped walnuts and banana slices.
