Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2.5 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 0.5 tsp salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1.75 cups granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1.5 cups ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup walnuts, toasted & chopped
  • 2–3 medium ripe bananas, sliced
  • 1 Tbsp lemon juice
  • 2 Tbsp brown sugar
  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 0.25–0.5 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • extra walnuts, banana slices, chocolate shavings, or caramel drizzle

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare two 9-inch round cake pans by greasing and flouring them or lining with parchment paper.
  2. Toast the chopped walnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 3-4 minutes until fragrant. Allow cooling.
  3. In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt; set aside.
  4. Beat butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
  5. Gently combine mashed bananas and buttermilk into the mixture.
  6. Gradually mix in the dry ingredients until just combined; fold in toasted walnuts.
  7. Divide batter evenly between prepared pans and bake for 30–35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Cool completely before frosting.
  8. For frosting, whip chilled heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla until stiff peaks form.
  9. Assemble by layering whipped cream and banana slices between the cake layers; frost the top and sides.
