MOIST BANANA CAKE WITH CREAM
CHEESE FROSTING
 
This is a really good, moist cake! I hope you enjoy it as much as my family does!

3 small ripe bananas or 2 large ripe bananas
4 large tablespoons dairy sour cream
1 white cake mix
3 egg whites
2 tbsp. oil
1 1/3 cups milk
1 tsp. vanilla flavoring

Frosting:

1 (8 oz.) pkg cream cheese
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
1/3 cup nuts of your choice (I use walnuts)
1 (1 lb.) box powdered sugar (4 cups)
1 tsp. vanilla flavoring

Blend bananas with mixer, adding your sour cream. When mixture is well blended, not lumpy, add your cake mix, egg whites, oil, milk, flavoring together and mix. Add milk last so you will be able to judge the consistency of the cake and adjust as needed.

Once well blended, pour mixture into a greased/sprayed, 9x13-inch cake pan or 3 cake layers.

Bake at 350°F for about 25 min. or until the cake is done.

Cake will spring back in the center when touched if done, don't over bake! Remove cake from oven and allow to cool.

Tip: Place wax paper over cakes to capture the moisture while cooling; this adds to a really moist, delicious cake!

Mix cream cheese and butter together in a bowl. Add powdered sugar and vanilla. Mix until you get the consistency you like.

Add a little milk to the frosting while mixing if you like it to be creamy. When icing is done, add 1/3 chopped walnuts to the icing. Crush them right out of the package with the end of a blunt object to make smaller pieces.

Stir walnuts into frosting well. After cakes have cooled, frost each layer with icing.

Honestly the BEST cake or even dessert I have ever tasted! I have now made this twice in one week. Everyone who has tried it feels the same. It is AMAZING and super was. However, both times I used a different frosting recipe, "Classic Cream Cheese Frosting". I highly recommend that frosting on this cake. A perfect combo! Enjoy!

Best cake and most moist I've ever baked, absolutely delicious! I made a mixture of 1 (8 oz.) pkg. cream cheese, 1/3 cup sugar, 1 egg and 1 tsp vanilla and dropped it over the top and swirled it in, then baked it. I wanted a cake to cut and eat on the go. It was perfect and a definite keeper!

The worst banana cake I have ever made! I have used this one because I called for a white cake mix and that was what I had at the time. I will stay with my recipe that calls for yellow cake mix.
