Recipe: Banana Bread Cake with Cream Cheese
Ingredients:
For the cake:
* 3 large ripe bananas, mashed
* 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
* 1 tsp baking powder
* 1/2 tsp baking soda
* 1/2 tsp salt
* 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
* 1 cup granulated sugar
* 2 large eggs
* 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
* 1 tsp vanilla extract
* 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
For the cream cheese frosting:
* 8 oz cream cheese, softened
* 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
* 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
* 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan and set it aside.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
3. In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the mashed bananas, Greek yogurt, and vanilla extract.
5. Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined. Fold in the chopped walnuts, if using.
6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
7. Bake for 55-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8. Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
9. For the cream cheese frosting, beat the cream cheese and butter until smooth and creamy.
10. Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, beating until smooth and creamy.
11. Once the cake is completely cool, spread the cream cheese frosting over the top and serve.

Optional Ingredients:
* Try adding different types of nuts (chopped pecans, hazelnuts, or almonds) to the batter for added texture and flavor.

* Add a hint of spice with 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon or nutmeg.
* Use other types of sugar like brown sugar or turbinado sugar for a slightly caramel-like flavor.
