Directions
Banana Cake With Bourbon Cream Cheese Frosting, Moist and dense and no nuts! This is always my husband’s birthday cake. And great for breakfast too! But you didn’t hear me say that., Made this for my husband’s bday, and it was a hit. I was going to cut the sugar in the cake as suggested, but I’m not a frequent baker and was afraid I’d end up with a dry, crumbly cake, so I prepared it per the instructions. It was super moist and still tastes great with leftovers a few days later. I added a tsp. of vanilla to the cake and 2 tsps. to the frosting. I’m a vanilla nut! For the frosting, I did use 2 boxes of neufchatel and cut the powdered sugar back to 1 3/4 C. after tasting, it wasn’t quite sweet enough, so I added about another 1/4-1/2 C and it was perfect. I did add 50 ml of bourbon. Yes, I could tastes and sense the alcohol in the newly mixed frosting, but after it sits on the cake for a while, it seemed to really dissipate. By day two, one of my guests couldn’t even taste the bourbon. I could if I concentrated hard on just tasting the frosting, but it wasn’t overpowering. It goes well with bananas and vanilla. I also liked having the 2 boxes of neufchatel cheese, as it made a greater volume of frosting which helped me frost the layers more easily. The only trouble I had was getting the cakes out of my non-stick new pans. I thought they would be ruined or only partially come out from the pans, but eventually they released. used butter and flour in the pans. Maybe next time I’ll be more generous with the flour or try a disk of parchment on the bottom.
