A gourmet and tasty recipe: the Soft banana bread with cinnamon and creamy icing! An ideal treat for breakfast and afternoon tea. This banana "bread" will seduce you with its incomparable softness.
If you have some overripe bananas at home, do not throw them away! Instead, make a banana bread: a very simple and quick recipe to make. I chose to decorate mine with a creamy frosting to give it a smooth touch to the tasting ... I hope you will be seduced, too!
How to make this moist cinnamon banana bread?
It really is child's play! To make this soft banana bread, you must first crush bananas blackberries with a fork. This is done by itself, since they are very ripe.
We then prepare dough : the butter and the sugar are whipped to obtain a creamy mixture. Then we add the eggs one by one, then the yogurt, vanilla and mashed bananas. Apart, we mix together the dry ingredients (flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon). Then we incorporate them little by little into the dough.
I chose to decorate this banana bread with crushed hazelnuts (it's optional): I add them to the dough just at the end. Then, we pour into a floured buttered cake mold, then put in the oven. NB: it is necessary to let cool banana bread before covering with frosting.
My tips for successful frosting of banana bread
This creamy icing consists of 4 ingredients : lightly salted fresh cheese (Philadelphia for me), well-softened butter, icing sugar and a little milk.
For a successful frosting, it is important that the ingredients are at room temperature. Using a robot or a hand mixer, whip the natural cream cheese and the butter until a homogeneous mixture is obtained. We add the icing sugar in rain (quantity to measure according to your taste), then finally the milk.
You can then coat the soft banana bread with this icing using an angled spatula or a tablespoon ...

Hello, I follow your recipes (which I find great) very closely, I have a question:
why do you need to cover with aluminum foil halfway through cooking?
merci;)
Lilie bakery
Hello, I recommend placing aluminum foil to prevent the top of the cake from browning too much. That's all! @ soon

Hello, very good cake but the crumb is a little wet (probably because of the banana), is this the normal texture of the cake? Thank you

Aurelie
Hello,
Shouldn't yeast be added? I followed the recipe to the letter, but the cake remained flat at the bottom of the cake tin ...
Lilie bakery
Hello, here it is the baking soda which acts as a leavening agent, but it can be replaced by the yeast if necessary. @ soon

great recipe, I removed the icing with a cinnamon syrup and a mixture of walnuts and hazelnuts. I slightly reduced the brown sugar and put a pickle of honey.
