Ingredients

• 3 large Ripe bananas
• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1.5 cups Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter
• 2 Eggs
• 0.5 cups Buttermilk
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 8 ounces Cream cheese
• 1.5 cups Powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons Milk

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and lightly flour a 9x13-inch baking pan.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth. Set aside.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, cream together the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.

Step 4

Stir in the mashed bananas and vanilla extract into the creamed mixture until well combined.

Step 5

In another bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.

Step 6

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the buttermilk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients, mixing just until combined each time.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the surface with a spatula.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 9

While the cake bakes, prepare the cream cheese frosting. In a medium bowl, beat together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and milk until smooth and spreadable.

Step 10

Once the cake is fully baked, remove it from the oven and let it cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.

Step 11

Spread the cream cheese frosting evenly over the cooled cake.

Step 12

Slice and serve. Enjoy Grandma Solberg's delicious banana cake with loved ones!
