Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.75 cups Unsalted butter, softened
• 1.5 cups Granulated sugar
• 3 whole Large eggs
• 3 medium Ripe bananas, mashed
• 2 teaspoons Pure vanilla extract
• 1 cup Whole milk
• 2 cups Heavy whipping cream
• 0.5 cups Powdered sugar
• 2 medium Additional ripe bananas, sliced (for topping)
• 1 teaspoon Fresh lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 8-inch round cake pans and set them aside.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large bowl, use a hand or stand mixer to cream the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Add the eggs one at a time to the butter-sugar mixture, beating well after each addition.

Step 5

Mix in the mashed bananas and vanilla extract until combined.

Step 6

Gradually alternate adding the dry ingredients and the milk to the wet mixture. Begin and end with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined—do not overmix.

Step 7

Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans. Smooth the tops with a spatula.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cakes comes out clean.

Step 9

Remove the cakes from the oven and let them cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

While the cakes are cooling, prepare the whipped cream frosting. In a chilled bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream and powdered sugar until soft peaks form.

Step 11

Toss the banana slices for topping in lemon juice to prevent browning, then set aside.

Step 12

Once the cakes are completely cooled, spread a layer of whipped cream across the top of the first cake. Arrange a layer of banana slices on top of the whipped cream.

Step 13

Place the second cake on top of the first layer. Spread the remaining whipped cream over the top and sides of the cake.

Step 14

Decorate the top of the cake with the remaining banana slices.

Step 15

Refrigerate the cake for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld. Serve chilled and enjoy!
