Description

I found this recipe more than five years ago and have been making it for family gatherings ever since. The coffee-flavored frosting complements the moist banana cake. —Kathy Hoffman, Topton, Pennsylvania

I use cream cheese frosting on this cake. Very good! A burnt sugar frosting works well also. I bake in jelly roll pan for approximately 20 minutes.

Excellent! My husband who usually doesnt eat cake had 2 pieces tonite!

This is an amazing recipe. I have been searching and searching for a potluck banana cake recipe and this version keeps popping up. Well. I finally made it and wow! This will be my go to recipe. I put it in a bundt cake pan on 350 for 50 minutes. No frosting needed.

This cake was really easy to put together and was a hit with everyone. We really liked the frosting. I did use brewed espresso instead of instant coffee granules. Its a great way to use up bananas that are starting to brown. One of my children isnt a fan of bananas, but said this cake was good.

This dessert is a GAME CHANGER for any potluck, office party, family event, holiday, or any day of the week. Delicious! The frosting is good, but sometimes I just opt for a Nutella spread on top if Im too lazy to make my own. This recipe is definitely a keeper!

Just like Mom used to make! This was a family favorite back in the 1960s. I was delighted to find this recipe and try it out on my own family. It was a hit!

The only thing Id change would be to use 2-3 tablespoons of fresh brewed strong coffee instead of instant. The coffee flavor is more than just a hint, so prepare for coffee lovers! I also think that a cream cheese frosting base with coffee flavor would be excellent . I want to try that next time I make this.

Super quick. Super easy. Super good..!!

I have made this cake several times. My family said this is awesome. I make the frosting different. My daughter cannot have milk. I use stick of butter, vanillA extract, powdered sugar and marshmallow fluff. Excellent. Love this cake.

There was no liquid in this recipe and it was flat, gummy and more like a cookie after it cooked. I will never try this again. Probably needed a cup of water or milk.

Ingredients

1/2 cup butter, softened
1 cup sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1-1/2 cups mashed ripe bananas (about 3 medium)
1 cup (8 ounces) sour cream
COFFEE FROSTING:
1/3 cup butter, softened
2-1/2 cups confectioners sugar
2 teaspoons instant coffee granules
2 to 3 tablespoons milk

Directions

Directions In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla. Combine the flour, baking soda and salt; add to creamed mixture alternately with bananas and sour cream, beating well after each addition. Pour into a greased 13x9-in. baking dish. Bake at 350° for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool completely on a wire rack. For frosting, in a small bowl, beat butter and confectioners sugar until smooth. Dissolve coffee granules in milk; add to butter mixture and beat until smooth. Spread over cake. Yield: 12-15 servings. Test Kitchen Tips Very ripe bananas work best in this cake. Bananas can vary widely in size. To prevent your cake from becoming too dry, use a cup measure for mashed banana. For 1-1/2 cups mashed, plan on three medium bananas. If you dont happen to have instant coffee for the frosting, strong brewed regular coffee or espresso would work, too. Be sure to adjust the milk amount to compensate for the added liquid.
