Banana Cake with cream cheese frosting


This year I really want to make more healthy, all natural meals. So for Caleb's birthday I didn't want a store bought, sugar filled cake. I found this recipe on another blog and decided to give it a try. My boys LOVED it!! It was actually pretty good.

  • 2 cups whole wheat flour
  • 3/4 cup honey
  • 1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
  • 1 tsp. baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 2 smashed over-ripe bananas
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 stick butter, melted
  • 1 tsp. vanilla
In a large bowl, stir together dry ingredients. Mash bananas in a separate bowl. Make a well in the center of dry ingredients. POur in mashed bananas and all other ingredients. Stir well.

Pour into a greased 9x9 inch pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Allow to cool completely before frosting.

Cream cheese frosting

1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
3 ounces cream cheese
1 tsp. vanilla
4 Tbs. agave nectar or honey

In a medium sized bowl, whip cream until soft peaks form. In a separate bowl, beat cream cheese, vanilla and sweetener until smooth. Fold into whipped cream. "Slather" it on your banana cake.
