Ingredients
  

  • 1 stick butter
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 bananas
  • 1 tbsp vanilla
  • 3 cups Self rising flour
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tsp of Vanilla

Maple Cream cheese frosting

  • 1 stick butter
  • 8 oz cream cheese
  • 1/4 cup Maple syrup
  • 1 tbsp Maple flavoring
  • 6 cups icing sugar

Instructions
 

  • First, whip the Heavy Cream; In a large bowl of a electric mixer, add the Heavy Cream, Sugar, and Vanilla, and whip on low just until ingredients are mixed, then turn mixer to medium speed until it starts to thicken. Turn on high, and whip until stiff peaks form With a spatula, gently place the thickened cream in a bowl, and place it in the refrigerator.
  • In the mixing bowl, add the Softened Butter, Eggs, and Sugar, and blend until smooth and creamy. Add the mashed Banana puree and blend until smooth. Add the vanilla, and mix. Combine Flour, a little at a time, blending between additions, and scraping down the mixing bowl, and blend until the batter is mixed.
  • Grease and Flour a 9 X 13-inch pan, and pour the batter in the dish, and smooth out evenly. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 - 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, and the cake is light golden brown. Remove to a wire rack, and cool in the dish.
  • Now let's make the cream cheese topping. When the cake has cooled completely, make the Frosting: In the mixing bowl of a stand mixer, add the softened Butter, Cream Cheese, Maple Syrup, and Maple Flavoring, and mix on low speed until blended and you have cream butter. Turn mixer to high, and whip for 1 minute. Add the Powdered Sugar a little at a time, blending between each addition until all the powdered sugar has been added, and mixed.
  • Scrape down the mixing bowl, and blend until you have creamed mixture and reached a spreadable consistency. For best results, frost the cake when it is room temperature, right in the dish with the Frosting, using a swirl on top of the cake. Refrigerate the cake until time to serve. Cut the cake in 3 X 3 inch pieces, serve, and Enjoy!
