Cake Mix Banana Cake Recipe
This Cake Mix Banana Cake is soft, moist, and full of banana flavor from ripe bananas and yellow cake mix. Finished with cream cheese frosting, this easy cake is a simple way to use extra bananas for dessert.
Ingredients
Cake
- 3 medium overripe bananas about 1 1/2 cups
- 1/2 cup vegetable or canola oil
- 3 large eggs
- 1 (15.25-ounce) box yellow cake mix I used Duncan Hines
- 3/4 cup whole milk
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon optional
Frosting
- 8 ounces brick-style cream cheese softened
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter softened
- 2 1/2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
- Add the bananas, oil, and eggs to a large mixing bowl and beat until combined and mostly smooth.
- Add the yellow cake mix, milk, and cinnamon. Beat on medium speed for 90 seconds until well combined and no dry streaks remain.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
- Bake for 30 to 40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting.
- Beat the cream cheese and butter together until smooth.
- Add the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and sea salt. Mix until creamy and smooth.
- Spread the frosting evenly over the cooled cake, then slice and serve.
Notes
- Store the frosted banana cake covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. For the best texture, let the cake sit at room temperature for about 20 minutes before serving.
- You can also freeze the unfrosted cake for up to 3 months. Wrap the cake tightly in plastic wrap and foil before freezing, then thaw in the refrigerator before frosting and serving.
