I just might be the most popular person in my house right now because Max and Emilia have been begging for banana bread… so I surprised them with banana cake.
This quarantine situation actually gave me the perfect excuse to make this cake. I mean, it’s giving me the perfect situation to do a lot of things that I’m not doing: like spring cleaning, organizing closets, going through all of my photography props, deep cleaning ever corner of the house… but no. Instead I just keep making things like brownies and cookie bars and cake.
Ever since making my banana bread with espresso glaze, I have been IN LOVE with the combination. It’s so delicious and the banana and espresso complement each other so well.
Banana Bread With Cream Cheese Frosting
It’s so good and kind of reminds me of my pumpkin dream cake. Just swap the pumpkin for banana, because the fluffy cream cheese frosting stays the same with one little extra addition. Which is OUT OF THIS WORLD.
You probably have most of the ingredients in your pantry to make the cake. You only need two large-ish bananas too. (P.S. if you find yourself with extra bananas going bad, freeze them for recipes like these in the future!)
I like a combo of brown and white sugars in the cake, but you can use one or the other if that’s all you have. Sour cream can replace the yogurt. And of course you can add more spices to the cake or even some chocolate chips!
Hummingbird Bread With Cream Cheese Frosting
Okay now for the tricky part: the espresso powder. This is an ingredient that I do keep in my pantry for recipes like these.
And that’s the secret for the coffee cream cheese frosting. If you don’t have it, you can use instant coffee powder. If you don’t have that, you can try adding 1 tablespoon of strongly brewed coffee, but it may not add quite as much flavor.
Yes – the frosting will be totally fine and still fantastic because cream cheese is what dreams are made of. So wonderful and creamy and rich and decadent.
Carrot Cake Banana Bread With Orange Cream Cheese Frosting
Plus, cream cheese frosting is amazing with banana bread so you’re really not missing much. You can always order a jar of espresso frosting and make the coffee flavored icing at another time!
I just love a sheet cake like this because it lasts. It’s not like banana bread which somehow disappears in 34 seconds in our house. This one is a bit more rich and decadent. It serves a crowd, otherwise known as your family that you’re with in your house for the foreseeable future. It travels well, you can bake it ahead of time and it tastes freaking fantastic.
This banana cake is a delicious twist on banana bread! Covered with espresso cream cheese frosting, it’s an easy and wonderful treat.
