Baking Tips
Make sure the custard is completely cool before filling the pastry horns.
If you don't have cream horn molds, you can use aluminum foil shaped into cones.
The custard can be made a day ahead and refrigerated.
Be sure to dust with powdered sugar just before serving to prevent it from absorbing into the pastry.

Ingredients

For the Cake:

03
1/2 teaspoon baking powder, adds extra lift for a fluffy texture
04
1/2 teaspoon salt, balances the sweetness of the cake
05
1 cup unsalted butter, softened for easy mixing and rich flavor
06
1 cup granulated sugar, sweetens and adds moisture
07
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar, enhances flavor depth and moisture
08
4 large ripe bananas, mashed to bring natural sweetness and moisture
09
2 large eggs, crucial for binding and structure
10
1 teaspoon vanilla extract, enhances flavor complexity
11
1 cup walnuts, finely chopped for crunch and nuttiness
For the Cream Cheese Frosting:
12
8 ounces cream cheese, softened for a smooth consistency
13
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened to enrich the frosting
14
4 cups powdered sugar, sweetens and stabilizes the frosting

1 tablespoon milk, adjusts consistency for easy spreading

Instructions

01
Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans to ensure easy release later.
02
Step 2: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set this dry mixture aside to incorporate evenly into the wet ingredients.
03
Step 3: In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes using an electric mixer.
04
Step 4: Add the mashed bananas and eggs to the butter mixture. Beat at medium speed until incorporated, followed by the vanilla extract, mixing well.
05
Step 5: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing just until combined. Avoid over-mixing to keep the cake light and fluffy.
06
Step 6: Fold in the chopped walnuts with a spatula to retain their crunch. This adds delightful texture and a nutty flavor to the cake.
07
Step 7: Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans and smooth the tops with a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
08
Step 8: Once baked, remove the cakes from the oven and let them cool in the pans for 10 minutes. Then, transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
09
Step 9: While the cake cools, prepare the cream cheese frosting. In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and butter until creamy and smooth.
10
Step 10: Gradually add powdered sugar and beat until fluffy. Add milk as needed to reach a spreadable consistency.
11
Step 11: Once cakes are completely cooled, place one layer on a serving platter. Spread a generous layer of frosting on top, then place the second layer on top.
12
Step 12: Frost the top and sides of the cake with the remaining cream cheese frosting. Decorate with additional walnuts or banana slices if desired.
13
Step 13: Let the cake sit for at least 30 minutes before slicing, allowing the flavors to meld for an even more delightful taste.
14
Step 14: Serve with love and enjoy the smiles that follow!
