Banana Nut Cake With Cream Cheese Frosting Recipe

Cake:
Butter, for greasing pans
3 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for pans
2 cups sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 eggs, beaten
3/4 cup vegetable oil
4 large ripe bananas, mashed
1 cup chopped pecans
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Frosting:
1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, at room temperature
1/2 cup butter (1 stick), at room temperature
1 pound confectioners’ sugar, sifted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup chopped pecans

Butter and flour 3 (9-inch) round cake pans; set aside. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Cake:
In a mixing bowl, stir together the flour, sugar, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Add the eggs and oil and stir just until the dry ingredients are moistened; do not beat. Stir in the banana, pecans, and vanilla. Divide the batter among the prepared pans and bake for 23 to 28 minutes, or until a wooden pick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool the cake layers in the pans for 10 minutes, and then turn them out onto a rack to cool completely. While the cake cools, make the frosting.

Frosting:
In a bowl, blend together the cream cheese and butter. Gradually add the confectioners’ sugar and beat until light and fluffy. Beat in the vanilla. Stir in the pecans, or reserve them to sprinkle over the frosted cake. Fill and frost the cake when it is completely cool

Question by Happy: PLEASE help me find the best, most moist, delicious carrot cake recipe! *10 POINTS!*?
I’d like to make a carrot cake (or carrot cake cupcakes), and I’m having a lot of trouble finding a good recipe online. Can anyone offer any suggestions, preferably from a recipe that YOU have made before, that way I know how it will turn out? Also, if anyone could find the Cheesecake Factory’s Carrot Cake recipe (NOTE: not the carrotCHEESEcake recipe, which I have found online), that would be absolutely awesome!

I notice that a lot of them have raisins and crushed pineapple in there. Is that the normal for carrot cakes? Will it taste like pineapple? If I do go with a recipe that has pineapple in it, should I strain it, or leave it in some of the packing liquid (it’s not syrup, it’s natural juice)?

Thank you SOOOO much! If I decide to go w/ your recipe, you get the 10 points for best answer!

Question by Alle: How would I make an exciting cake from scratch?
I would like to try my hand at baking. But I don’t just want to do a simple cake, I am more artistic than that. I need recipes for making a cake from scratch, icing from scratch and maybe some ideas on how to make it a bit more exciting.

Best answer:

Answer by xenitha
Unless you want to make an exciting mess, I’d go to the library and get a cookbook. Find a recipe you like, follow directions and make it then use your artistic talents while frosting it.

I’d like to make it for the superbowl. So I’m looking for a recipe that everyone is going to love, personal experiences are surely welcomed. I’ve never made a bundt cake before. I’ll take anything!
okay thank you. i have the pan, so i guess i can use any recipe thanks!

Best answer:

Answer by ?single serving friend?
It’s not really a cake, but it’s typically made in a bundt cake pan and would be a perfect snack for the superbowl, since you just kind of pull it apart…monkey bread! Yum! Or, you could go with a classic rum cake or gingerbread cake, or some kind of lemon cake with a lemon or cream cheese-like glaze/icing. Yummo.
