Ingredients

Cake Ingredients

  • 2 sticks of unsalted butter room temp
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs room temp
  • 2 large egg yolks room temp
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 3 cups cake flour
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup buttermilk room temp

Whipped Cream Cheese Frosting

  • cups whipping cream very cold
  • 8 ounces cream cheese room temp
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon clear vanilla extract
  • 2 large bananas very ripe and mashed
  • 2 cups diced strawberries

Instructions

Cake

  • Preheat the oven to 350°.Grease and flour 2-9" round cake pans. Placing a piece of parchment paper, cut to fit bottom of pan before greasing will help removal of cake after baking.
  • Using the paddle attachment on the stand mixer, beat butter and sugar at
    medium speed until mixture is light and fluffy. This should take 3-4 minutes. Stop to scrape sides of bowl frequently.
  • Add eggs and egg yolks, one at a time, mixing after each until combined.
  • Mix in vanilla extract.
  • In separate bowl, combine flour, baking powder and salt.
  • In a separate large mixing bowl, with your mixer on low, gradually alternate, adding flour mixture and egg/butter mixture along with buttermilk, starting and ending with dry mixture until all is combined.
  • Divide batter between the two prepared pans.
  • Bake on center rack of the preheated oven for approx. 25-35 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool on wire rack, then remove from pans.

Whipped Cream Cheese Frosting

  • Beat whipping cream in a small bowl until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
  • Using a separate large bowl, mix cream cheese, sugar and extract until
    mixture is smooth and creamy.
  • Gently fold in the whipped cream mixture, then fold in the banana and 1-cup
    of the strawberries. Reserve the remaining strawberries for tops of cakes.
  • Using an extra-large piping tip, pipe icing on top of one of the cakes. Sprinkle half of the remaining 1 cup strawberries across the layer.
  • Place second layer on top and ice that one, then top with remaining strawberries. Best to chill before serving. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator.

Notes

If you don't have a piping tip, simply spread icing with a knife or spoon.
This cake needs to be stored in the refrigerator.
