Ingredients

  • 3 Large Ripe Bananas Mashed
  • 3 cups Flour
  • 1 1/2 tsp Baking Soda
  • 1/2 tsp Ground Cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 3/4 cup Butter softened at room temperature
  • 1 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 1/2 cup Brown Sugar
  • 3 large Eggs
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 1 1/2 cups Milk
  • 1 1/2 Tbsp Lemon Juice
  • Ingredients for Cream Cheese Icing:
  • 1 8 oz Package of Cream Cheese, softened at room temperature
  • 1/4 cup Butter softened at room temperature
  • 3-4 cups Powdered Sugar shifted
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and spray a 9X13 baking pan with non stick cooking spray or grease and flour the pan.
  • Mix the milik and lemon juice together and set aside.
  • With a hand held mixer or stand up mixer combine the butter and both of the sugars until well combined.  Add in the eggs one at a time.  Then add in the vanilla extract.  Mix on high spreed until the mixture is light and fluffy.
  • Then mix in the flour, baking soda and salt in a medium size bowl.  Gradually add the flour mixture and milk mixture to the butter mix.  Alternate adding each one in until both are fully added.
  • Gently stir in the mashed bananas.
  • Pour the mixture into the 9X13 pan.
  • Baked for 40-45 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.  Watch closely as baking times vary.
  • Remove the oven and place the cake on a wire rack to cool completely.
  • While the cake is cooling, create the frosting.  Beat together the cream cheese and butter until smooth.  Gradually add in the powdered sugar 1 cup at a time and mix in between each cup until the frosting is the thickness that you desire.  Stir in the vanilla extract.
  • Spread the cream cheese frosting over the cake, refrigerate for at least 30 minutes and then slice, serve and enjoy!
