Directions:
Make the Cake:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Mix in the mashed bananas and vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the banana mixture, alternating with the milk, until just combined.
Stir in the peanut butter until smooth.
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans and smooth the tops.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean.
Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
Make the Peanut Butter Frosting:
In a large bowl, beat together the softened butter and peanut butter until smooth and creamy.
Gradually add the powdered sugar, 1/2 cup at a time, beating until well combined.
Add milk 1 tablespoon at a time to achieve your desired frosting consistency.
Stir in the vanilla extract and beat until fluffy.
Assemble the Cake:
Once the cakes are completely cool, place one cake layer on a serving plate.
Spread a generous amount of peanut butter frosting on top.
Place the second cake layer on top and frost the entire cake with the remaining frosting.
Serve and Enjoy:
Slice and serve this decadent Peanut Butter Banana Cake as a sweet treat for any occasion, or simply as a delicious indulgence!
