Best Ever Banana Cake With Cream Cheese Frosting, This is one of (if not) the BEST banana cake I have ever tasted! I thought the oven temp of 275 sounded a little low, but this cake baked up (and rose) beautifully in my oven at this temp after pretty much exactly one hour I do not know if the little freezer trick to this recipe is what ensured its moistness or not, but I did it, and it was exceptionally moist & delicious Would be interesting to see if it still came out as great if this step was skipped All I know is that I followed this recipe EXACTLY as stated (except that I had no buttermilk, so I subbed with a mix of lemon juice & milk) and I got exceptional results So moist and yummy a dense cake, similar in texture to a carrot cake I personally would not call this frosted banana bread :o) Depending on the amount of frosting you like you can decide whether to half the recipe or not used the full recipe and had some leftover I sprinkled on the chopped walnuts and threw this baby in the fridge and cut it the next day TO DIE FOR! I really liked it slightly chilled, but great at room temp too! It got better each day it sat, I always make this cake at least the day before I need or want it I was extremely pleased with this cake and will be making it over & over again!! So glad I came across this one!! (on another website) (* * Just to update the recipe, (based on some of the reviews), the baking time may vary based on individual ovens It was RIGHT ON for my oven, but some others have stated it has taken 1 hour 10 minutes, 1 hour 20 minutes, and my sister just informed me that it took 1 hour 30 minutes in her oven!!!!!), When you state Icing Sugar, do you mean powdered sugar?, Does this have to be refrigerated?
