BANANA CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350F/180C. Grease a 9×13-inch pan.
• In a medium bowl sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Set it aside.
• In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat together butter, sugar, and oil on medium speed for 3-4 minutes until fluffy. Scrape down the sides and the bottom of the bowl occasionally. Beat in the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add mashed bananas, buttermilk, and vanilla extract and beat until combined. With the mixer on low speed, add half of the dry ingredients and beat just until combined, then add the rest of the dry ingredients and beat just until combined. Do not overmix, the less you mix, the lighter the cake will be.
• Pour batter into prepared pan and bake for 35-45 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Allow to cool to room temperature. Frost cake with cream cheese frosting.
• Store cake in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 5 days.

THE BEST BANANA CAKE I'VE EVER HAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C) and grease a 9×13 inch pan.
• Mash the bananas. I usually just use my mixer for this! Set mashed bananas aside.
• Whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt together. Set aside.
• Using a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the butter on high speed until smooth and creamy - about 1 minute. Add both sugars and beat on high speed for 2 minutes until creamed together. Scrape down the sides and up the bottom of the bowl with a rubber spatula as needed. Add the eggs and the vanilla. Beat on medium-high speed until combined, then beat in the mashed bananas. Scrape down the sides and up the bottom of the bowl as needed. With the mixer on low speed, add the dry ingredients in three additions alternating with the buttermilk and mixing each addition just until incorporated. Do not overmix. The batter will be slightly thick and a few lumps is OK.
• Spread batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 45-50 minutes. Baking times vary, so keep an eye on yours. The cake is done when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. If you find the top of the cake is browning too quickly in the oven, loosely cover it with aluminum foil.
• Remove the cake from the oven and set on a wire rack. Allow to cool completely. After about 45 minutes, I usually place it in the refrigerator to speed things up.
• In a large bowl using a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a paddle or whisk attachment, beat the cream cheese and butter together on high speed until smooth and creamy. Add 3 cups confectioners' sugar, vanilla, and salt. Beat on low speed for 30 seconds, then switch to high speed and beat for 2 minutes. If you want the frosting a little thicker, add the extra 1/4 cup of confectioners sugar (I add it). Spread the frosting on the cooled cake. Refrigerate for 30 minutes before serving. This helps sets the frosting and makes cutting easier.
• Cover leftover cake tightly and store in the refrigerator for 5 days.
