Best Ever Banana Cake is a light and fluffy cake with a scrumptious cream cheese frosting. You will not find a better recipe! It is super easy to make and so moist. This cake is a family favorite that is perfect for any occasion!

Best Ever Banana Cake is over the top amazing! It is super moist and fluffy with a scrumptious cream cheese frosting. My family loves this cake. The recipe is very easy to follow. Anybody can make this cake without too much stress. I love that it is a cake that you can make all year long for any occasion.

Whenever I buy bananas, at least one or two of them turn brown before they are eaten. Only a few of my kids will eat them plain. I don’t like to eat plain bananas either but I do love them in baked goods. Sometimes my kids will eat them all and I don’t have any to use in baked goods and that is a problem!

When my kids eat all of the bananas, it means that I have to buy more bananas and let them sit on the counter until they turn brown for baking. Patience is not my strong suit so I don’t want to waste brown bananas on just any recipe. I think if you have to patiently wait for the bananas to turn brown, then you better have a dang good recipe to use them in. That is why I love this cake so much. It is well worth the time it takes for the bananas to turn brown.

I have a few kids that will turn their noses up at this cake if I tell them  that it is banana cake.  If I just tell them it is a yummy cake, they will eat it all and then ask for more. I know, some of you might think it is cruel for me to trick my kids, but sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do. If I didn’t trick them, they would never get to experience this heavenly cake and that is something I am not okay with. You will know what I mean when you taste this cake!

With love from my kitchen to yours,
