My family and friends love this cake - especially when it sits in the fridge for a day until it's eaten. It is so moist and tasty.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

Banana bread is always a favorite. Now imagine the flavors turned into a moist cake and layering it with fluffy cream cheese frosting. So good! The tender cake has a nice balance of banana and pineapple flavor. It's iced with a sweet and tangy cream cheese frosting with chopped pecans throughout. Make sure to chill for at least 2 hours for the frosting to set. Decorate with additional pecans, freshly sliced banana, and maybe another dollop of icing for a fantastic slice of cake.

How To Make kat's moist banana cake

Test Kitchen Tips

We recommend using parchment paper in the cake pans to prevent the cake from sticking because the cake is very moist.

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Combine dry ingredients in large bowl.

Step 2

Add eggs and oil, stirring until all dry ingredients are moistened. DO NOT BEAT.
Step 3

Stir in vanilla, butter flavoring, pineapple, pecans, and bananas.
Step 4

Spoon batter into 3 well greased and floured 9 inch cake pans.
Step 5

Bake at 350 for 25-30 minutes.
Step 6

Cool in pans for 10 minutes. Then turn out of pan and cool for 2 hours.
Step 7

Once the cake has cooled, make the icing. Combine cream cheese, Oleo, and powdered sugar until fluffy.
Step 8

Stir in 2 tsp vanilla extract and 1 tsp butter flavor.
Step 9

Stir in chopped pecans.
Step 10

Frost the cake. It will make extra icing, I save the extra icing and add a dollop to each slice of the cake when sliced.
