Recipe from Bakeaholic Mama
Brown Butter Blueberry Banana Cake with Blueberry Cream Cheese Frosting
Ingredients:
1 cup sugar
1 cup mashed bananas (About 2)
1/2 cup browned butter cooled slightly
2 beaten eggs
1 cup flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup fresh blueberries
For the Frosting:
8 oz room temperature cream cheese
1/4 cup blueberries
1 tsp lemon zest
2 cups confectioners sugar
pinch of salt
*Additional berries for garnishing
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350.
In the bowl of an electric mixer cream sugar, bananas, and brown butter together. Slowly add in your eggs while mixing on medium low. Pour in your flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Mix until combined. Gently fold in your berries.
Pour cake batter into a greased 8x8 or 9x9 baking dish bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick is inserted and comes out clean.
For the frosting,
In your electric mixer cream the cheese, and berries together until you get a faint purple color... you want the mixer to go ahead and mash your berries up a bit. Mix in lemon zest, sugar, and salt. You can add more sugar if you want a stiffer frosting or less for more creamy and loose.
This frosting is very lumpy and rustic looking.
This was my first time browning butter ever and I was pleased with how well it went! It really took the cake over the top and up against the blueberry/lemon/banana it imparted a lovely nutty/warm flavor. The cake was wonderfully received and we all had seconds.
