Banana Cake with Silky Cream Cheese Frosting

From the time that he was little, my little guy ALWAYS asks for Banana Cake with Silky Cream Cheese Frosting or Banana Bars for his birthday. Always! And he's always very particular that they need to be CHILLED before the party!

And over the years I've made Birthday Banana Cake in many shapes and sizes - my favorite was a Winnie the Pooh Bee Hive Banana Cake - complete with bees!

This is our family-favorite recipe, used for birthday celebrations and even as wedding cake!

Fresh Banana Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting

Deep rich flavor like banana bread, but a lighter cake texture that is so buttery and fresh! Buttermilk adds flavor and keeps this so moist that the crumbs will stick to your fork!

I know that there are bakers that will shortcut and replace the buttermilk with "sour milk" (lemon juice or vinegar are added to milk which causes is to sour up), but for the best flavor, do yourself a favor and use fresh buttermilk. It really does make a difference in both the taste and texture.

Banana Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting

This is our favorite recipe for silky cream cheese frosting as well - it is smooth and velvety, and spreads like silk. This recipe makes a LOT of cream cheese frosting - and depending on your group, you may have leftover to frost cupcakes with.
