Frosted Banana Cake

Luci's Frosted Banana Cake from melskitchencafe.com
½ cup butter, softened
1 ½ cups white sugar
2 eggs
1 cup sour cream (I use reduced fat)
1 tsp vanilla
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
¼ tsp salt
1 cup mashed ripe bananas (I use three ripe bananas)

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease a large jelly roll pan. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until smooth. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then stir in the sour cream and vanilla. Combine the flour, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl; stir into the batter. Finally, mix in the mashed banana. Spread evenly into the prepared pan(s). Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow bars to cool completely before frosting.

Whipped Cream Cheese Frosting
2 cups heavy whipping cream - beat until still peaks form

2 oz package cream cheese, softened to room temperature
about 1/2 cup powdered sugar - taste test :)
1 tsp vanilla
In a large bowl combine cream cheese, sugar and vanilla. Beat until light and fluffy. Set aside. Fold whipped cream into cream cheese mixture. Chill for 10-15 min then frost to your heart’s delight! Refrigerate frosted banana bars until ready to serve.
