Top homemade banana cake with a delicious cream cheese frosting for a subtly fruity dessert that your family is sure to love. Ingredients:
2 cups all-purpose flour |
2 teaspoons baking powder |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature |
2 tablespoons canola oil |
3/4 cup sugar |
2 large eggs plus 1 large egg white, at room temperature |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
4 large ripe bananas |
1/4 cup milk |
4 ounces reduced-fat cream cheese, at room temperature |
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar |
2 tablespoons chopped toasted walnuts, optional |
