Banana Cake

Banana Cake is a simple cake made with overripe bananas, flour, sugar, sour cream and basic baking ingredients with a cream cheese frosting and chopped pecans on top.

My household goes through phases of banana eating. Sometimes I have a whole lot bananas leftover at the end of the week. This Banana Cake recipe is perfect to use up those overripe bananas left at the end of the week for a weekend treat or a Friday afternoon pot luck at work.

Banana Cake

Banana Cake is made moist and flavorful with just the right amount of banana. The cream cheese frosting is smooth and creamy. The chopped pecan garnish adds a nice crispy touch to each bite that completes this cake.

Tips & Tricks

As far as cakes go, this Banana Cake is pretty darn simple. The biggest tip I have when baking this cake is to make sure the butter and cream cheese is softened on the counter for awhile beforehand. This will make mixing the cake batter and beating the frosting so much easier.

You can replace them with something crunchy you do like peanuts or walnuts or just leave them off completely.
