Banana Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting

To make the cream cheese frosting, in a medium mixing bowl, beat together the softened butter and cream cheese until smooth and well combined.

Add the vanilla extract, powdered sugar, and heavy whipping cream to the butter-cream cheese mixture. Beat until the frosting is smooth and creamy.

Frost the cooled cake with the cream cheese frosting, spreading it evenly over the top.

Optionally, garnish each piece of cake with slices of banana and chopped walnuts before serving.
Notes:

For the best taste, use full-fat sour cream in the cake and real, full-fat cream cheese for the frosting.

This cake can be made ahead of time and tastes even better the next day!

Serve the cake cold or at room temperature according to your preference.
