Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9×13-inch baking dish by greasing or lining it with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together softened unsalted butter and granulated sugar using an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
  3. Add in the large eggs, full-fat sour cream, and vanilla extract. Mix on low speed until smooth and creamy.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add to the wet mixture on low speed until just incorporated.
  5. Gently fold in the mashed ripe bananas using a spatula.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top. Bake for 25-35 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  7. Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
  8. Beat together softened cream cheese and butter until creamy. Gradually add powdered sugar and mix, then add heavy cream until light and fluffy.
  9. Spread the cream cheese frosting evenly over the cooled cake.
  10. Slice and serve your Moist Banana Bread Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting.
