Butter or spray a 9 x 13 baking pan with non-stick cooking spray, mash your browned bananas, melt the butter and then set it aside to cool slightly.Add ingredients. In a large mixing bowl or your stand mixer bowl, add the baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and both sugars (white and light brown sugar) to the beaten eggs.Buttermilk. Add the buttermilk and combine thoroughly for about 1 minute.Combine. Mix the mashed bananas and melted butter, then add to the beaten egg mixture. Add the vanilla extract (or paste) and mix thoroughly about 1-2 minutes.Batter. Add the all-purpose and cake flours and mix until the batter is fairly smooth (other than some banana lumps) then pour into your greased 9 x 13 baking pan. Bake. Place in the middle of your oven’s center rack and bake at 325°F (162°C) for 50-60 minutes. Start checking the cake at the 45 minute mark by inserting a toothpick or knife into the center of the cake until it comes out clean. Cool completely.

Mix the softened cream cheese and butter together until smooth. Add the remaining ingredients: confectioners sugar, heavy whipping cream, vanilla extract (or paste), and ground cinnamon. Beat together using a hand mixer or whisk.Frost and serve. The frosting will be smooth and easy to spread when done (but not firm enough to pipe onto a cake), it should be more wet than a standard frosting. Spread on the fully cooled banana cake then serve immediately. Serve up this super moist banana cake after it is cooled and frosted. Enjoy! I recommend storing any remaining cake in the refrigerator (which works out great, I think the banana cake tastes even better on the second day!).
