banana snack cake

This Banana Chocolate Chip Snack Cake recipe is a moist and delicious treat that is jam packed full of banana flavor and chocolate chips! Paired with a luscious chocolate cream cheese frosting, it&#039;s a great little cake to make for a small dinner party, family night, or date night!

Banana Chocolate Chip Snack Cake

All-Purpose Flour

tsp Baking Soda

tsp Baking Powder

Salt

Medium-size Bananas (well-ripened)

tbsp Unsalted Butter (room temperature)

Light Brown Sugar (lightly packed)

Sugar

tsp Vanilla Extract

Large Egg (room temperature)

Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips (lightly coated in flour)

Unsalted Butter (room temperature)

oz Cream Cheese (room temperature)

Unsweetened Cocoa

Confectioners Sugar (sifted)

Heavy Whipping Cream

Adjust the oven rack to the second level position (just above center) and preheat the oven to 350ºF.

Generously spray an 8 inch square cake pan with a flour-based baking spray. Set aside. 

In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

Using a hand mixer or a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the unsalted butter and mushed bananas together on medium-high speed until well-combined. Add in the light brown sugar, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and egg, mixing together until fully incorporated.

Switch the mixer speed to low and add in the whisked dry ingredients until just combined. The batter will be thinner in consistency with flecks of the bananas in it.

Before adding the chocolate chips, coat them lightly 1 tablespoon of all-purpose flour which will help them from all sinking to the bottom of the pan during the baking process.

With a spatula fold in the flour coated chocolate chips, then pour the cake batter into the prepared 8 inch cake pan.

Bake for 25-30 minutes at 350ºF or until an inserted toothpick into the center of the snack cake comes out clean.

Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting.

Using a hand mixer or a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the unsalted butter and cream cheese together on medium-high speed for 2-3 minutes until the mixture is smooth and creamy. There should be no lumps.

Add in the unsweetened cocoa powder, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and heavy cream, beating together on low speed until well blended. The frosting will be thick at first.

Once mixed together, switch the mixer speed to medium-high blending together until the frosting softens (about 2-3 minutes). It will be much easier to spread after this.

If the frosting is still too thick for your liking, you can add a teaspoon of heavy cream until the desired consistency is achieved.

Frost the cooled snack cake and enjoy!

If you’ve got overripe bananas sitting on your counter, my best ever moist banana cake recipe is the perfect way to use them! Soft, tender, and packed with banana flavor, this cake is a step up from your classic banana bread—and when it’s topped with a rich and tangy cream cheese frosting, it becomes next-level delicious!

The Best Banana Cake

all-purpose flour

cornstarch

tsp baking powder

tsp baking soda

salt

tsps cinnamon

3½ large bananas (skin removed, make

unsalted butter (room temperature)

vegetable oil (I use canola)

white granulated sugar

eggs (room temperature)

vanilla essence/extract

Greek yoghurt (room temperature)

unsalted butter (room temp)

sugar (also known as icing/confectioners' sugar)

cream cheese (cold, firm type (see note 1))

vanilla extract/essence

lemon juice (must be fresh)

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) conventional (see note 2 if using a convection oven with a fan), and lightly grease a 9x13-inch cake pan. Line the bottom lengthwise with parchment paper—this will make it easier to remove the cake once it’s done.

In a medium bowl, sift together flour, cornstarch, baking soda, baking powder, salt and ground cinnamon. Using a whisk, mix until well combined. Set aside.

In another medium bowl, mash the bananas well using a potato masher or fork. Set aside.

In a large bowl, add in butter, vegetable oil and sugar. Using an electric mixer (hand or stand mixer—see note 3), cream together for 2 minutes until light and creamy.

Add in eggs one by one, mixing well after each addition (about 10–15 seconds between eggs).

Next add in the mashed bananas, vanilla and Greek yoghurt. Mix on a medium speed until well combined. The mixture may look a little curdled—that’s okay. Set the mixer aside, as the remainder of the batter will be finished by hand.

Finish off by adding in the premixed dry ingredients to the wet mixture, and gently fold in with a spatula until just combined and no streaks of flour remain. Be careful not to overmix.

Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pan. Tap the pan lightly on the counter once to remove any large air bubbles, then bake for 28–30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.

Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 20 minutes, before carefully turning it out onto a wire rack to completely cool. Once cooled, carefully invert onto a serving plate (see video for demonstration if unsure how) and frost with cream cheese frosting (recipe below).

Banana Cake

Cream butter for a few minutes until light and fluffy. Either use a hand or stand mixer on a medium-high speed. If using a stand mixer, use the paddle attachment.

Add in powdered sugar in two batches while mixing on low. Ensure each batch is fully incorporated before adding the next.

Next add the cold cream cheese, vanilla and fresh lemon juice. Mix just until smooth. Avoid overmixing (see note 4).

Cream Cheese Frosting

Your cakes always look so good.  could sour cream be substituted for the greek yogurt.  thanks
