THE BEST BANANA CAKE
This banana cake is delectably moist, perfectly sweet and easy to make. Dark brown sugar and sour cream add depth to the batter, and we added melted butter instead of vegetable oil for a flavor boost. Fluffy cream cheese frosting and swirls of dulce de leche will make you go back for seconds. We also upped the ante by using bananas in two ways -- fresh bananas are mixed into the cake while maple-candied banana chips create a crunchy topping.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line a 9-by-13-inch baking pan (see Cook's Note) with aluminum foil, leaving a 2-inch overhang on the two longer sides. Lightly spray the foil with nonstick cooking spray.
- For the cake, mash the bananas in a large bowl with a fork or potato masher until very smooth. Whisk in the dark brown sugar, melted butter, sour cream, eggs and vanilla until smooth and combined. In a separate large bowl, whisk together the flour, cinnamon, baking soda and salt.
- Fold the dry ingredients into the banana mixture in thirds until just combined. Pour into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top. Bake until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 1 hour. Leave the cake in the pan to cool slightly, about 30 minutes. Use the foil overhang to remove the cake from the pan, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Meanwhile, beat the butter, cream cheese and salt in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth. Reduce to low speed, then add the powdered sugar a cup at a time until smooth. Increase the speed to medium-high and beat until fluffy, 1 to 2 minutes. Beat in the vanilla extract.
- Transfer 1/2 cup of the frosting to a small bowl and stir in the dulce de leche until smooth. Cover both frostings with plastic wrap and keep at room temperature until ready to assemble the cake.
- For the candied banana chips, warm the maple syrup in a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat until it just starts bubbling. Add the banana chips and cook, tossing and stirring frequently with a rubber spatula, until the chips have absorbed almost all the maple syrup and are browned in spots, 3 to 4 minutes. Immediately transfer the banana chips to a baking sheet, spread in an even layer and cool completely. Once cool, roughly chop.
- Transfer the cake to a serving platter. Spread about 3/4 cup plain cream cheese frosting all over the top of the cake.
- Dollop the dulce de leche frosting and remaining plain frosting on top, then use a small offset spatula to swirl both frostings together in a swooping design, making sure the frosting goes all the way to the edges of the cake. Top with the chopped candied banana chips.
BANANA BREAD ICE CREAM LAYER CAKE
Banana bread gets a summer makeover! We take a loaf of banana bread and turn it into a layer cake with the addition of peanut butter and chocolate ice creams. If you can't find plain peanut butter ice cream, feel free to use one that has your favorite mix-ins, or even plain vanilla ice cream -- it will be equally delicious.

Steps:
- Position an oven rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9-by-5-inch metal loaf pan with cooking spray, then set aside.
- Whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl, then set aside. Mash the bananas in a large bowl until very smooth, then add the eggs, sugar, canola oil and vanilla extract and whisk until very smooth. Stir in half of the flour mixture until mostly combined, then add the other half and stir until just combined. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake, rotating the pan once halfway through, until golden brown and a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean, about 1 hour 10 minutes. Allow to cool in the pan on a cooling rack for 30 minutes, then gently flip the banana bread out of the pan and cool completely. Clean out the pan, then line with plastic wrap, allowing about 1 inch of overhang on all sides of the pan.
- Combine the milk chocolate chips with 1/2 cup peanut butter chips in a small bowl and set aside.
- Once completely cooled, carefully slice the banana bread horizontally into 3 even slices. Place the bottom slice into the bottom of the lined loaf pan, then cover with an even layer of 1 1/2 cups peanut butter ice cream. Sprinkle half of the mixed chocolate and peanut butter chips over the ice cream. Layer the middle slice of banana bread over the chips, then cover with an even layer of chocolate ice cream, followed by the remaining mixed chocolate and peanut butter chips. Invert the top slice of banana bread so that the domed top is facing downward, then lay it in the loaf pan, using your hands to press down lightly on the banana bread. Cover with the remaining peanut butter ice cream, smoothing it out so that it is as flat as possible. Fold over the plastic wrap, then use another sheet of plastic wrap to cover the loaf pan completely. Freeze until completely frozen, at least 6 hours or up to overnight.
- Combine the vegetable shortening with the remaining peanut butter chips in a small microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 15-second intervals, stirring in between, until completely melted, about 45 seconds total.
- Remove the loaf pan from the freezer and use the plastic overhang to lift the cake out of the pan. (Run the underside of the loaf pan under warm water if the cake sticks to the pan and is hard to remove.) Place the cake right-side up on a cooling rack set over a baking sheet, then drizzle the melted peanut butter topping back and forth over the top of the cake with a spoon. Quickly sprinkle with the peanuts (before the topping dries). Return to the freezer and allow the topping to harden completely, at least 20 minutes.
- Remove from the freezer, cut into slices and serve immediately.
BANANA LOAF CAKE I
This recipe is a family favorite. It is great for using overripe bananas. I usually double the recipe and make two loaves. You can also add walnuts if you wish. Note: When your bananas are overripe, you can put them in the freezer until you are ready to use them.
