1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
½ cup brown sugar, packed
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 ripe bananas, mashed
½ cup buttermilk
1 cup chopped walnuts
For the Cream Cheese Frosting:

½ cup unsalted butter, softened
4 cups powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons heavy cream (optional for a thinner consistency)
For Garnish:

Banana slices (optional)

Method
 

Prepare the Cake Batter:
    - Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease two 9-inch round cake pans with butter and flour.
      - In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Set aside.
        - In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
          - Add in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract and mashed bananas.
            - Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, alternating with the buttermilk. Mix until just combined.
              - Fold in the chopped walnuts gently.
                Bake:
                  - Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans.
                    - Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
                      - Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
                        Make the Cream Cheese Frosting:
                          - In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and unsalted butter together until smooth.
                            - Gradually add the powdered sugar, mixing until well combined.
                              - Stir in the vanilla extract and heavy cream (if using) to reach your desired frosting consistency.
                                Assemble the Cake:
                                  - Once the cakes are completely cool, place one cake layer on a serving plate.
                                    - Spread a generous layer of cream cheese frosting on top.
                                      - Place the second cake layer on top and frost the top and sides of the entire cake.
                                        Garnish:
                                          - Decorate the top with extra chopped walnuts and banana slices if desired for a lovely presentation.
                                            Serve:
