Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease two 8-inch baking pans with cooking spray.

  2. Combine all-purpose flour, white sugar, whole wheat flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl.

  3. Stir mashed bananas, buttermilk, egg whites, applesauce, egg, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract together in a separate bowl. Add gradually to the flour mixture, mixing until batter is just combined.

  4. Divide batter evenly between the prepared cake pans.

  5. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes. Cool in the pans for 30 minutes.

  6. Combine cream cheese, peanut butter, confectioners' sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract in a large bowl, beat with an electric mixer until frosting is creamy.

  7. Run a rubber spatula around the edges of the cooled cakes. Grease a baking sheet lightly with cooking spray. Invert cake pans onto the baking sheet, tap bottoms lightly to release cakes.

  8. Spread frosting onto the cake layers. Stack layers, frost top and sides. Cut into 8 slices. Garnish with banana slices.

Recipe Yield

1 8-inch layer cake

Recipe Note

Inspired by Elvis's famous peanut butter banana sandwich, I took this to the next level by incorporating the flavors into a moist and simple cake. But who can have a cake without frosting? Not me! A creamy peanut butter cream cheese frosting tops this off and makes it my one-of-a-kind cake filled with four favorite flavors. I think Elvis would be proud!
