Heavenly Banana Walnut Cream Cake

This delightful cake combines ripe bananas and crunchy walnuts in layers of moist banana cake and fluffy cream, perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups mashed ripe bananas
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup chopped walnuts
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
  2. Cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the mashed bananas and vanilla extract.
  4. Whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt in another bowl. Gradually add to the banana mixture, mixing just until combined.
  5. Fold in the chopped walnuts.
  6. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans.
  7. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. For the cream, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar until stiff peaks form.
  9. Once the cakes are cool, spread a layer of whipped cream on top of one cake, place the second cake on top, and frost the top and sides with the remaining whipped cream.
  10. Garnish with additional walnuts if desired. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

Use very ripe bananas for the best flavor. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
