Get Ready for Some Banana Bliss!

First things first, let’s check out our masterpiece in the making. Feast your eyes on this drool-worthy image of our cake!

Ingredients: The A-Team

Before you start swinging your mixing spoon like a mad scientist, let’s gather our ingredients. You’re gonna need:

3 ripe bananas (the more spots, the better!)
1/2 cup of melted butter (give that butter a spa day first)
1 cup of sugar (for that sweet, sweet lovin')
1 egg (just one, because we’re not overachievers here)
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract (the good stuff, not that imitation nonsense)
1 teaspoon of baking soda (to help it rise and shine)
Pinch of salt (like a good life advice)
1 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour (the building blocks of our cake castle)
8 oz of cream cheese (for that frosting that dreams are made of)
1 cup of powdered sugar (to sweeten up the cream cheese)
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract (because one is never enough)

Instructions: Let’s Do This!

Alrighty, here comes the fun part! And don’t worry, I’ll walk you through it step-by-step:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (that’s about 175°C for our metric friends).
In a mixing bowl, mash those ripe bananas until they look like a masterpiece of mush. Seriously, go for it! The uglier, the better!
Add in the melted butter and mix that in like your life depends on it.
Next, mix in sugar, the egg, and vanilla extract until it’s all combined and lovin’ each other.
Now, you’ll want to sprinkle in the baking soda and salt, followed by the flour. Mix until just combined but don’t overdo it — we’re not trying to build a gluten fortress here.
Pour your batter into a greased cake pan and pop it in the oven for about 25-30 minutes.
While it’s baking, let’s make the frosting: beat together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until it’s smooth and fluffy.
Once the cake is cool, frost that beauty generously! Don’t hold back, the calories don’t count when it’s in the name of deliciousness!

And voilà! You’ve got yourself a cake that’ll make you the star of any potluck. Don’t forget to take tons of pictures (and maybe send a slice my way) before it disappears faster than you can say “banana cake!”
