How To Make three layer banana cake w/ cream cheese frosting

  • Step 1
    Preheat oven to 275'
  • Step 2
    Mash banana to a purée, making sure there are no chunks. Add lime juice and set aside.
  • Step 3
    Mix cake flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  • Step 4
    Cream butter and sugar together until crumbly and fluffy.
  • Step 5
    Beat in eggs one at a time to sugar and butter mixture. Add vanilla. Set aside.
  • Step 6
    Add vinegar to milk and let set for about a minute. Begin to add milk mixture and flour mixture to the creamed butter mixture, alternating between milk and flour.
  • Step 7
    Add bananas to cake mixture and blend well
  • Step 8
    Spray three 9" cake pans. Pour into pans and bake for 45 minutes or until cake tester comes clean.
  • Step 9
    To make frosting, cream butter and cream cheese together until well blended. Add vanilla.
  • Step 10
    Stir in powdered sugar. If you're wanting to frost the whole cake, add an extra cup of sugar to the mixture.
  • Step 11
    Once the cake is done baking, remove from oven and let set for 10 minutes then place in freezer for 35-40 minutes. I heard this is suppose to help it maintain a moist texture. After removing from the freezer, frost as desired
