Step-by-Step Instructions

Preparing the Banana Bread Cake

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Set aside.
3. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, beat the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
4. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
5. Incorporate Bananas and Sour Cream: Add the mashed bananas and sour cream to the mixture, and beat until combined.
6. Combine Dry and Wet Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Add the milk and mix until the batter is smooth and well combined.
7. Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top. Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8. Cool: Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.

Preparing the Cream Cheese Frosting

1. Beat Cream Cheese and Butter: In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and butter together until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
2. Add Powdered Sugar: Gradually add the powdered sugar, one cup at a time, beating well after each addition until fully incorporated.
3. Add Vanilla and Milk: Mix in the vanilla extract. If the frosting is too thick, add milk one tablespoon at a time until the desired consistency is reached.
