Equipment

  • Oven
  • stand mixer or large bowl
  • measuring cups
  • measuring spoons
  • half sheet pan
  • butter knife
  • offset spatula

Ingredients

  • 1 stick unsalted butter softened
  • 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 1/4 cups mashed bananas about 3 large ripe bananas
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose Gold Medal Flour
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 stick unsalted butter melted
  • 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Cream Cheese Brown Butter Icing

  • 1 stick unsalted butter
  • 4 ounces softened cream cheese
  • 2 3/4 cups powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons almond milk or regular milk

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line a half sheet baking pan with parchment paper.
  • Place butter, sugar, sour cream and bananas into stand mixer, mixing until well combined. Add flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt, mixing until well combined. Transfer to prepared baking pan, spreading evenly.
  • Place melted butter into a medium mixing bowl, add brown sugar and cinnamon mixing well. Drizzle over cake batter then take a knife to swirl throughout. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until baked through.
  • When cake is done baking, prepare brown butter icing. Brown butter in a small saucepan until bubbly and browned. Place softened cream cheese into a large mixing bowl. Pour browned butter over cream cheese whisking until smooth. Slowly add powdered sugar and almond milk until smooth. Drizzle over warm cake and spread evenly. Let cool completely then cut into squares and serve room temperature or chilled.

Notes

  • Ripe Bananas. Make sure your bananas are brown spotted to give sweetness to the cake.
  • Brown Butter Icing. Don't skip the brown butter step. It takes a little patience, but brings the best rich flavors to the icing.
  • Offset Spatula. An offset spatula helps so much to spread the icing on the warm cake. Highly recommend getting one.
