This fluffy banana vanilla cake is baked in a heart shape and covered with the creamiest banana whipped cream—it’s a total showstopper for Valentine’s Day!
It’s sweet, dreamy, and just screams made with love.
The secret to that deep banana flavor? Super ripe bananas! I’m talking about those spotty brown ones that you might think are only good for banana bread. Nope, they’re perfect for this cake. I steep them in warm cream with vanilla seeds and sliced bananas overnight, which makes the cake layers packed with banana goodness but still keeps them that gorgeous, fluffy white. And that banana flavor shines just as much in the whipped cream frosting!
Of course, you could totally cover this cake in a rich chocolate frosting (because banana and chocolate are a match made in heaven), but I love keeping it light with the banana whipped cream.
To top it off, I add little chocolate hearts for a festive Valentine’s Day vibe.
It’s cozy, sweet, and perfect for sharing with someone you love.
