Banana Layer Cake With Cream Cheese Frosting

By: Barbara Curry from Easy Southern Desserts
Banana Layer Cake With Cream Cheese Frosting

"There's nothing quite like a homemade banana layer cake to bring a bit of Southern charm to your table. This cake is made from scratch and comes together in just about 20 minutes of prep time. The cake’s texture is light and tender, while brown butter in the frosting brings a velvety smooth finish with a hint of nuttiness. Baked to golden perfection, this cake will have everyone at the table reaching for seconds. A banana layer cake is a true Southern classic perfect for any occasion, like banana pudding. The cake itself is incredibly moist and fluffy, thanks to the bananas and buttermilk, which keep it light but rich.  It's nothing like banana bread which is dense and moist. Instead, the bananas add moisture and flavor but the addition of lots of eggs, added in two different ways creates a lightness that is hard to find in some layer cakes."
