Banana Cake With Bourbon Cream Cheese Frosting

Ingredients

FROSTING

• 1/2 cup butter, softened
• 1 (8 ounce) box cream cheese, softened
• 4 cups powdered sugar
• 50 ml bourbon (an airline bottle)

Directions

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 350°.

2. 2

   Grease and flour two 8" round pans.

3. 3

   In a small bowl whisk together flour, soda, and salt.

4. 4

   In a large bowl, cream butter, white sugar and brown sugar until fluffy.

5. 5

   Beat in eggs one at a time.

6. 6

   Mix in bananas*.

7. 7

   Add flour mixture alternately with the buttermilk to the creamed mixture.

8. 8

   Pour into cake pans.

9. 9

   Bake for 30 minutes.

10. 10

    While the cake is baking, make frosting: beat butter and cream cheese until smooth, then add powdered sugar and Bourbon- if the amount of booze scares you, add less, or use bourbon flavoring.

11. 11

    *Wefreeze overripe bananas- when it's time to use them, we place them in a cup of hot water for just a few minutes, and they slide right out of their peel.

12. 12

    Once the cakes cool, frost them- the cake (stacked) is pretty heavy and dense, so don't expect a tall fluffy cake.

13. 13

    Stays moist for days if covered properly.
