Ingrediënten

3 medium bananas, ripe with brown speckles, 1 ¼ cups mashed banana (330g)

6 tablespoons salted butter, melted and cooled slightly, see tips (85g)

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled (195g)

¼ cup granulated sugar (50g)

1 teaspoon baking soda

¼ teaspoon fine sea salt

¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon

3 tablespoons brown sugar (38g)

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

2 large eggs

¼ cup sour cream (55g)

4 ½ ounces room temperature cream cheese (128g)

6 tablespoons room temperature salted butter, see tips (85g)

1 ½ cups powdered sugar, sifted if lumpy (170g)

Instructies

Prep: Position a rack in the middle of the oven. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and grease a 9×9-inch square baking pan (or use a 9-inch round cake pan). You can also line it with parchment paper to make removing the cake easier from the pan.

Prepare the batter: In a large bowl, whisk 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon.

Mash the bananas in a separate bowl until almost smooth. Then, whisk in 3 tablespoons brown sugar, 2 tablespoons of oil, 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, 2 eggs, and 1/4 cup sour cream.

Add the mashed banana mixture and the melted butter to the bowl with dry ingredients and whisk until combined.

Bake the cake: Spread the batter into the prepared pan, smooth the top, and then bake until the top is springy when lightly pressed, 25 to 35 minutes.

Remove the cake from the oven and cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then carefully transfer the cake out to a cooling rack. Cool completely before frosting.

Make the frosting: In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and butter with a handheld mixer at medium speed until smooth and creamy, for about 1 minute.

Beat in the powdered sugar, a 1/4 cup at a time, until combined. Continue to beat at medium speed for 30 to 45 seconds until the frosting is light and fluffy.

When the banana cake is completely cool to the touch, frost the top, swirling the cream cheese frosting all over. Use as much or as little of the frosting as you like.
