Banana Cakes:
3 ripe bananas (1 ½ cups)
2 teaspoons lemon juice
2 ¼ cup sugar
¾ cup tablespoons butter, softened
2 teaspoons vanilla
3 eggs
3 cups four
1 ½ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
1 ½ cups butter milk
(I use 1 ½ cup milk and 1 ½ teaspoon lemon juice)
Cinnamon Cream Cheese Buttercream:
½ cup butter
8 oz cream cheese
2-3 cups powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2-3 teaspoons cinnamon
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
2. In a small bowl, mash bananas and stir in lemon juice. Set aside.
3. In a separate bowl, beat sugar and butter until light and fluffy.
4. Add eggs to sugar and butter, then add vanilla.
5. In a separate bowl, sift flour, baking soda and salt together. Slowly add to wet ingredients.
6. Stir in buttermilk and mashed bananas.
7. Spoon into cupcakes liners and bake for 15-20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
8. Place cupcakes straight into the freezer for 15 minutes. (Sounds crazy I know.)
9. Buttercream: Beat butter and cream cheese until light and fluffy. It will take at least 4 minutes. Add vanilla and cinnamon. Slowly add as much powdered sugar as desired, then beat for a few additional minutes.
10.Pipe onto cooled cupcakes.
YUMMMM…….
These look amazing! I wish I were eating one right now! I just started blogging last month and am having fun. 🙂 Are you a part of foodbuzz.com? I think you take great pictures and would do really well there.
I have no idea what that is all about. I'll have to check it out…
Welcome! You are really going to love it there. Find Chef Dennis and friend him. He has a lot of info on his blog about how foodbuzz works.
Now THIS is what I'm talkin' about 🙂 I'm slightly obsessed with bananas in baked goods at the moment.
You have a lovely blog, also. Can't wait to see more!
Following this recipe was a little difficult? Is it tablespoon or cup for the butter? And at 275 degrees, it took much longer than 20 minutes to bake. Also, i’m assuming it’s 3 cups flour?? Other than that, they turned out delish!
Are these really supposed to bake at 275??? I have them in right now, they’ve been in for 20 mins and are still really raw. I’m turning it up to 350, but wondering if it’s me or a typo.
Are you really supposed to bake these at 275?
Very nice service you offers for me. Thanks. Burberry Check Print Wallets Black With Zips has become one of my favorites
How many cupcakes does this recipe make?
20-24
The recipe calls for “3/4 cup tablespoons butter” so I am unsure if I am to use cups or tablespoons. Please clarify 🙂
I really love reading your blog. It is very well-drafted and easy to understand. Thanks a lot! If you have more time, please visit: fireboy and watergirl
