Banana Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting is a fairly dense banana cake, much like banana bread, with some chocolate chips and a light and luscious cream cheese frosting with just the right amount of sweetness.

Have some overripe bananas lying around" Instead of making banana bread, try this Banana Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting and Sugared Walnuts. It’s sweet, moist, and studded with mini-chocolate chips.

Topping it off is a thick and creamy frosting and some sugared walnuts. It’s sure to be a family favorite. This recipe was previously posted on my old blog, Fort Mill SC Living. I don’t update it very often anymore so I’ve decided to gradually start reposting my favorite recipes here. It’s too confusing to have them in 2 places! And this recipe is one of my favorites.
Mash the banana really well with a fork.

Use Overripe Bananas

Be sure to use really ripe bananas. You know the ones that have more black than yellow. We have a lot of those around our house and since they’re not very pleasant to eat plain when they’re that ripe, I do tons of baking with bananas. I’ve made Banana Pudding Bars, Banana Pudding Cupcakes, Bananas Foster Cake, and Banana Bread with Chocolate Glaze.

Banana Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting Recipe Tip

If your bananas become overripe before you are ready to bake with them, peel them, wrap in plastic and freeze them.
