Banana bread has been a beloved classic in American kitchens since the early 20th century, popularized during the Great Depression as a way to use overripe bananas. The addition of cream cheese frosting transforms this humble bread into an elegant cake, marrying the comforting flavors of banana with the creamy richness of a traditional cake frosting. This recipe draws inspiration from both classic banana bread and the luxurious texture of a well-frosted cake, creating a dessert that is both nostalgic and indulgent.
