Banana Bread or Cheesecake: Which is Better? Both together! Because we just couldn’t decide whether we should devote our DIY to banana bread or cheesecake, we simply combined the two delicious types of cake and the result was: super moist banana bread with a cheesecake topping.
Cake classics combined
Admittedly, this cake variation is not particularly low in calories. But hey: Sometimes you just have to treat yourself to a sweet treat – especially when it tastes as incredibly delicious as this banana bread with a cheesecake topping.
As the name “Banana bread” may already suggest, it is mainly ripe bananas that disappear in the dough. They are particularly sweet and give the cake an extra portion of juiciness. The yellow fruit also provides B vitamins, some vitamin C, lots of potassium, and a good portion of magnesium. Paired with the creamy cream cheese topping, it’s a dream come true!
Banana bread with cheesecake topping
The ingredients for the banana bread:
- 3 ripe bananas
- 4 tbsp canola oil
- 1 egg (size M)
- 100 g raw cane sugar
- 1 vanilla pod (Mark)
- 180 g wholemeal spelled flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 pinch of salt
Ingredients for the cheesecake topping:
- 900 g cream cheese (double cream level)
- 1 vanilla pod (Mark)
- 50 g powdered sugar
- 1 organic lemon (zest)
The preparation:
- Preheat the oven to 180 degrees top/bottom heat. Mash the bananas with a fork. Then add the oil, egg, pulp of a vanilla pod, and sugar and mix together.
- Now add flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt to this banana mass and mix to form a dough.
- Pour the batter into a greased springform pan and bake until golden brown, about 30 minutes. Then let it cool down completely.
- For the cheesecake topping, mix the cream cheese together with the pulp of a vanilla pod, powdered sugar, and lemon zest until creamy, and place on the banana bread. Place in the fridge for at least three hours
