Step 2: Bake the Cake
1️⃣ Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
2️⃣ Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
3️⃣ Let the cake cool completely in the pan before frosting.
Step 3: Make the Cream Cheese Frosting
1️⃣ In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and butter together until smooth and creamy.
2️⃣ Gradually add the powdered sugar, beating until fully combined.
3️⃣ Mix in the vanilla extract and heavy cream (if using) for a smoother consistency.
4️⃣ Continue beating for about 2-3 minutes until fluffy.
Step 4: Frost the Cake
1️⃣ Once the cake has completely cooled, spread the cream cheese frosting evenly over the top using a spatula.
2️⃣ For extra flavor and texture, sprinkle with chopped nuts or drizzle with honey or caramel.
3️⃣ Optionally, garnish with banana slices just before serving.
Step 5: Slice & Enjoy! 🍰✨
Cut the cake into squares and serve. This cake is delicious chilled or at room temperature and pairs beautifully with a cup of coffee or tea.
