Easy Banana Cake with Cream Cheese Icing

This super moist easy banana cake is slathered in smooth and tangy cream cheese icing for a simple and satisfying dessert.

I adapted my go-to banana bread recipe for a decidedly more cake-y, dessert-like feel. That means upping the butter, sugar, and buttermilk content.

INGREDIENTS

– Granulated Sugar – Light Brown Sugar – Unsalted Butter – Eggs – Buttermilk – Mashed Banana,  – AP Flour – Baking Powder – Baking Soda – Kosher Salt – Cinnamon

The cake is light, super moist, and packed with banana flavor. The tangy cream cheese icing compliments the cake perfectly without it tasting overly sweet.

Cream the butter and sugars together. In a separate bowl, mash together the ripe bananas and buttermilk.

Add the eggs and banana/buttermilk mixture to the butter/sugars. Beat well. Beat in the dry ingredients and spread in a greased and lined pan.

Bake for about 55 mins, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool the cake completely on a wire rack before icing.
