Instructions
 

Crafting The Batter

  • Preparation: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour your baking pans.
  • Mash And Mix: In a bowl, mash the bananas and incorporate them with eggs, buttermilk, and vanilla extract. Blend until a smooth consistency is achieved.
  • Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift the flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this mixture to the banana amalgamation, stirring continuously.
  • Butter Bliss: Melt the butter and gently fold it into the batter, ensuring an even distribution.

Baking The Dream

  • Pan Perfection: Pour the batter into prepared pans, ensuring an even spread.
  • Bake To Perfection: Place the pans in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  • Cooling Ritual: Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.

Frosting Perfection

  • Creamy Beginning: Beat the butter, cream cheese, and vanilla extract until light and fluffy.
  • Sweet Whispers: Gradually add the confectioners’ sugar, allowing the frosting to reach the perfect sweetness.
  • Finishing Touch: Once the cakes are cool, generously frost the top of one cake layer before placing the second layer. Continue this process until the entire cake is adorned in a luscious coat of frosting.

Garnish Galore

  • Fresh Fruits: Crown your creation with sliced bananas or berries for a burst of freshness.
  • Nutty Delight: Sprinkle chopped nuts for an added crunch.
  • Chocolate Drizzle: Elevate the decadence with a delicate chocolate drizzle.
