- 4 medium bananas
- ½ cup (100 g) granulated sugar
- ¼ cup (50 g) light brown sugar
- ½ cup (113 g) unsalted butter at room temperature
- 3 large eggs at room temperature
- 1 teaspoon (5 ml) pure vanilla extract

- 3 cups (360 ml) all purpose flour

For the cream cheese frosting
- 8 ounces (225 g) cream cheese
- 2 ½ cups (300 g) powdered sugar

Instructions
- Using a fork, in a mixing bowl mash the bananas until you create a smooth puree.
- Add sugar, butter, eggs and vanilla. Whisk everything together using a hand mixer or a stand mixer. Add milk, and mix in.
- Add the dry ingredients, and whisk the batter until just combined. Do not over mix the batter.
- Pour into two 8 inch greased pans, and bake at 350°F (180°C) for 25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean from the center of the cake.
- Take out the cake, and let it chill completely before it's frosting.
To Make the Cream Cheese Frosting
- Using a hand or a stand mixer, beat the cream cheese with the sugar and vanilla extract. If the mixture is too thick, add a 1 tsp of milk and beat again. Frost the cake, slice and serve.
