Decadent Banana Cream Cheese Cake 🍌🎂🧀
Ingredients:
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, softened 🧈
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar 🍚
2 large eggs 🥚
1 cup full-fat sour cream 🍦
1 teaspoon vanilla extract 🌼
2 cups all-purpose flour 🌾
1 teaspoon baking soda 🥄
1/4 teaspoon salt 🧂
1 cup mashed bananas (about 3 bananas) 🍌
Cream cheese frosting (for topping) 🥣
Directions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and give your cake pan a little love with some greasing and flouring.
2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until it's light and fluffy—trust me, this step is magic!
3. Crack in the eggs one by one, mixing well after each addition. Enjoy that golden goodness!
4. Stir in the full-fat sour cream and vanilla extract until everything is nicely combined. Your batter is starting to shine!
5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. A little dry mix action!
6. Gradually add those dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Don't overdo it; we want a tender cake!
7. Fold in the mashed bananas until they're evenly distributed—hello, banana goodness!
8. Pour the batter into your prepared cake pan and smooth the top so it bakes evenly.
9. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Just the right amount of golden!
10. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before flipping it onto a wire rack to cool completely. Patience pays off!
11. Once the cake is cool, generously spread that cream cheese frosting on top and get ready to serve this beauty.
Enjoy your sweet creation!
