Banana Cake with Peanut Butter Frosting
This cake is made primarily of almond flour and bananas. It only uses ⅓ cup of sugar, so it is just the right amount of sweet and full of banana flavor.
Ingredients
Banana Cake
- 3 ripe bananas mashed
- ⅓ cup light brown sugar packed
- ½ cup unsalted butter melted
- 2 large eggs room temperature
- ½ cup Greek yogurt
- ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 2 cups almond flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon salt
Peanut Butter Frosting
- ½ cup unsalted butter softened
- ½ cup smooth peanut butter
- 3 tablespoon honey
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ cup powdered sugar sifted
Instructions
Banana Cake
- Preheat oven to 350° F. Grease a 9-in round baking pan, set aside.
- In a mixing bowl fitted with the paddle attachment, mix the mashed bananas and brown sugar until well combined. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating after each addition until combined. Add the melted butter, yogurt, and vanilla, mixing until well incorporated.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the almond flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Add to the batter, all at once. Mix until everything is well incorporated, being careful not to over mix.
- Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake for 30-35 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center, comes out clean. Allow cake to cool before removing from pan.
Peanut Butter Frosting
- In a mixing bowl fitted with the paddle attachment, mix together the peanut butter, softened butter, salt, honey, and vanilla until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the powdered sugar and beat for an additional 2-3 minutes until fluffy.
- Once the cake has completely cooled. Pour all of the frosting onto the center of the cake. Using a spatula, evenly spread frosting outward to all sides. Swirl frosting with a spatula as you are spreading for a pretty effect.
- Store finished cake in the refrigerator, covered, for up to 5 days.
