Banana Cake with Whipped Cream Cheese Frosting

Move over banana bread, make way for a moist, delicious homemade banana cake with whipped cream cheese frosting. This banana cake is easy to make, and can be made in a sheet cake or as I did here as a layer cake. The layer cake makes it extra special.

As you can see I made this cake for Easter but this banana cake doesn’t need a special occasion or a holiday for you to make it. This sweet treat can be made weekly for family and friends. Don’t throw away your brown bananas make a cake.

Banana cakes and breads are one of the things that I make often. Ina Gartens’ Old Fashioned Banana Cake, The “Best Ever” banana cake and Cooks Illustrated banana bread are on rotation in our house. Our friends and family love them.

As for the cake, it was scrumptious! This cake was moist, delicious with a sweet banana flavor, add in the frosting and you have a match made in heaven.
