How To Make banana chocolate chip and nutella cake

  • Step 1
    For the cake: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Coat three 9-inch round cake pans with cooking spray. In a medium bowl sift together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside. In the bowl of your stand mixer or another large bowl, with a stand mixer or hand mixer, cream the butter, sugar, and light brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, mashed bananas, sour cream or Greek yogurt, and vanilla, and blend until smooth. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Stir in chocolate chips.
  • Step 2
    Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans. Bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool the cakes in the pans for 10-15 minutes and then transfer to wire racks to cool completely. Prepare the cream cheese whipped cream. Using a serrated knife or cake cutter, level the top of each cake and slice each cake in half horizontally. Place one layer on a cake plate and spread with about one-third of the Nutella. Top with another layer and spread with about half a cup of the cream cheese whipped cream. Alternate layers, placing the final cake layer on top, then cover the entire cake with the remaining cream cheese whipped cream frosting.
  • Step 3
    For the cream cheese whipped cream: Using a hand mixer or the whisk attachment of a stand mixer, whip the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla together until creamy. While mixing on high speed, slowly pour in the heavy cream and beat until the frosting is the consistency of whipped cream. Do not overbeat. Store in the refrigerator until you are ready to use.
