Banana Cake With Bourbon Cream Cheese Frosting
Total Time: 50 mins
Preparation Time: 20 mins
Cook Time: 30 mins
Ingredients
- Servings: 12
- 2 1/2 cups flour
- 1 tablespoon baking soda
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup sugar
- 3/4 cup light brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- 4 ripe bananas, mashed
- 2/3 cup buttermilk
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 1 (8 ounce) box cream cheese, softened
- 4 cups powdered sugar
- 50 ml bourbon (an airline bottle)
Recipe
- 1 preheat oven to 350°.
- 2 grease and flour two 8" round pans.
- 3 in a small bowl whisk together flour, soda, and salt.
- 4 in a large bowl, cream butter, sugar and brown sugar until fluffy.
- 5 beat in eggs one at a time.
- 6 mix in bananas*.
- 7 add flour mixture alternately with the buttermilk to the creamed mixture.
- 8 pour into cake pans.
- 9 bake for 30 minutes.
- 10 while the cake is baking, make frosting: beat butter and cream cheese until smooth, then add powdered sugar and bourbon- if the amount of booze scares you, add less, or use bourbon flavoring.
- 11 *wefreeze overripe bananas- when it's time to use them, we place them in a cup of hot water for just a few minutes, and they slide right out of their peel.
- 12 once the cakes cool, frost them- the cake (stacked) is pretty heavy and dense, so don't expect a tall fluffy cake.
- 13 stays moist for days if covered properly.
