Banana Cake:
2/3 c. unsalted butter, melted
8 (3 c.) ripe bananas, mashed
1 1/2 c. sugar
2 large eggs, at room temperature
2 t. vanilla extract
3 c. self-rising flour, sifted
1 t. kosher salt
Cream Cheese Frosting:
1 1/2 c. heavy whipping cream, cold
8 oz. package cream cheese, at room temperature
1 c. powdered sugar
1/8 t. salt
1 t. vanilla extract
Banana Cake:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare a 9x13 or a 10x15 inch baking dish with butter and flour or non-stick spray.
Melt butter; set aside to cool slightly.
In a large bowl, mash bananas with a fork or with a hand mixer. Add butter, sugar, eggs and vanilla; mix well; add flour; stir until all ingredients are incorporated.
Bake 18-25 minutes. The top should be a light golden brown and a wooden toothpick inserted in the center should be mostly clean. The cake should have risen in the middle and spring back if pressed gently with a finger.
Cream Cheese Frosting:
In the bowl of a stand mixer (or hand-held mixer), beat cold whipping cream on medium-high until stiff peaks form, about 2-3 minutes. Place whipped cream into a separate bowl; clean the bowl.
In the clean stand mixer bowl (or using a hand-held mixer) whip cream cheese until light and smooth; add sugar, salt and vanilla; beat until fully incorporated. Remove bowl from stand mixer; gently fold whipped cream into cream cheese mixture.
The frosting can be used immediately or stored in the refrigerator until ready to use. Bring it to room temperature before piping or spreading.
Spread the frosting on top of the cake.
Serve.
