Directions

FOR CAKE:

Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 13 x 9-inch baking pan with shortening and dust with flour, shaking out the excess.

Combine cake mix, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a large mixing bowl. Add mashed bananas, water, oil, eggs, and LorAnn Super-Strength Banana Cream Flavor. Beat with an electric mixer on low speed for 30 seconds, then on medium speed for 2 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Pour batter into the prepared pan.

Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the top is lightly browned and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Begin checking for doneness at 35 minutes. Cool completely on a wire rack before frosting.

FOR FROSTING:

Beat cream cheese and butter with an electric mixer until smooth and combined. Gradually add confectioners' sugar, beating on low speed until incorporated.

Add LorAnn Super-Strength Banana Cream Flavor and beat on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 1 minute more.

Spread frosting evenly over the completely cooled cake.
