Banana Cake with Nutella Frosting

INGREDIENTS:

FOR THE CAKE:

• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 3 medium bananas
• 1 3/4 cup flour
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp kosher salt

FOR THE FROSTING:

• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup Nutella (chocolate hazelnut spread)
• 1/4 cup milk
• 4 cup powdered sugar

DIRECTIONS:

1. For the cake, grease and flour two 9-inch cake pans. Set aside. Preheat oven to 350 degree F.
2. In a large mixing bowl, beat butter and sugar until creamy. Add in egg, vanilla, and bananas (you can mash them first, but I toss them in and it does the work). Add in flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Beat for a couple minutes until fully blended.
3. Pour batter evenly between the two cake pans. Bake for 25 minutes. Remove from oven and cool in pans for about 10 minutes. Flip onto a cooling rack to cool completely before frosting.
4. For the frosting, beat butter for two minutes. Add in nutella, powdered sugar and milk. Beat an additional 3-5 minutes. scraping down the sides of the bowl periodically.
5. To assemble the cake, lay one layer of cooled cake on a cake plate. Spoon frosting over middle layer generously. Top with second layer of cake. Spoon and spread frosting over cake to create a thin crumb layer. Refrigerate for about 10 minutes. Using a spatula, continue frosting the cake with the remaining frosting. If desired, reserve some frosting and place in a pastry bag with tip to decorate. ENJOY.
