Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
-
In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas. Add grated carrots and mix well.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
-
In another bowl, cream together the unsalted butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
-
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing until just blended. Fold in the banana-carrot mixture and walnuts.
-
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top. Bake for 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
In a small bowl, beat together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and lemon juice until smooth. Spread the frosting over the cooled cake.
-
Slice and serve.
