For the Cake:
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 ripe bananas mashed
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup buttermilk
  • For the Banana Cream Filling:
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 ripe banana sliced
For the Topping:
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Method
 

Prepare the Cake:
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 8-inch round cake pans.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in mashed bananas and vanilla extract.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with buttermilk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  5. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Prepare the Banana Cream Filling:
  1. In a medium bowl, whip the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
  2. Fold in the sliced banana gently until well combined.
Assemble the Cake:
  1. Place one cake layer on a serving plate. Spread the banana cream filling evenly over the top.
  2. Place the second cake layer on top of the filling.
Prepare the Topping:
  1. In a clean bowl, whip the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
  2. Spread the whipped cream over the top and sides of the cake.
  3. Garnish with additional banana slices.
Serve and Enjoy:
  1. Refrigerate the cake for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
  2. Slice and serve chilled.
