Ingredients

Scale

Cake:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup mashed ripe bananas (about 23 bananas)
  • ½ cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
  • ¼ cup milk

Cream Cheese Frosting:

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13-inch baking pan.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
  3. Cream butter and sugars: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each, then stir in the vanilla.
  4. Combine wet ingredients: Mix in mashed bananas, sour cream, and milk until smooth.
  5. Blend in dry ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring just until combined. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
  6. Bake: Bake for 28–32 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool completely before frosting.
  7. Prepare frosting: For the frosting, beat the cream cheese and butter together until smooth and creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until light and fluffy.
  8. Frost the cake: Spread the frosting over the cooled cake and refrigerate until ready to serve.
