To Die For Banana Cake with Vanilla Bean Frosting
Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13-inch baking pan.
-
In a medium bowl, mash the bananas until smooth. Set aside.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
-
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
-
Gradually mix in the flour mixture, alternating with the buttermilk. Fold in the mashed bananas.
-
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top.
-
Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
While the cake is baking, split the vanilla bean lengthwise and scrape out the seeds. In a small bowl, combine the powdered sugar, vanilla bean seeds, and heavy cream. Stir until smooth.
-
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
Once the cake is completely cooled, spread the vanilla bean frosting evenly over the top.
-
Slice and serve.
