Ingredients

Scale

For the Cake

  • 23 ripe bananas (mashed, about 1 cup)
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter (softened)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs (at room temperature)
  • ½ cup buttermilk (or ½ cup milk with 1 tsp lemon juice, rested 5 minutes)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup chopped walnuts (plus extra for garnish)

For the Cream Frosting

  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat & Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. Cream Butter & Sugar: In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each.
  4. Combine Banana & Vanilla: Stir in the mashed bananas and vanilla extract into the creamed mixture.
  5. Alternate Mixing: Gradually fold in the dry ingredients, alternating with buttermilk, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Mix just until combined—do not overmix.
  6. Add Walnuts: Gently fold in the chopped walnuts.
  7. Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 30–35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  8. Cool: Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
  9. Prepare Cream Frosting: In a chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
  10. Assemble: Once the cake is cool, either spread the whipped cream on top or slice the cake horizontally into two layers and spread the cream between them.
  11. Garnish & Chill: Sprinkle additional chopped walnuts over the top and, if desired, drizzle lightly with honey. Chill the cake for at least 1 hour before serving.
