This is my favorite banana cake with chocolate peanut butter frosting! It’s just like banana bread in cake form, feeds a crowd and is blanketed with an incredible cream cheese frosting. Perfect snack cake!
I’ve got your weekend treat!
This banana cake is topped with chocolate peanut butter frosting and it is divine! The loveliest snack, a great after-school snack or even a fantastic weekend dessert.
We love it!
The cake is made with plain greek yogurt and it’s incredibly fluffy for a banana dessert. It’s light and airy but so reminiscent of banana bread – it’s like instant nostalgia in cake form.
If you’ve made my banana cake with coffee frosting before, then you know alllll about this incredible recipe.
The cake is the perfect mix between banana bread and sheet cake. My kids go crazy for it. I love it because it makes a big 9×13 inch cake, and these days one loaf of banana bread is gone in a day around here.
However… this lasts a little longer.
And the frosting! Chocolate peanut butter lovers unite!
Oh but wait – it’s not just chocolate peanut butter. It’s chocolate peanut butter cream cheese frosting!!!
Cue all the exclamation points.
I am such a cream cheese frosting freak. I don’t even LIKE frosting in general. But cream cheese frosting? I love.
The tangy creaminess… oh it’s just perfect.
And there is something about it when it’s mixed with peanut butter! Like peanut butter cheesecake. Major favorite forever.
I didn’t think I could beat the coffee cream cheese frosting. And maybe they are on the same level, as long as you love coffee. But the chocolate peanut butter is such a classic flavor.
It’s almost like reese’s peanut butter cup frosting!
This combo will forever be one that I adore. My kids love it. It’s so comforting and if you’re looking for a snack cake to please the masses, you’ve found it!
And look at the crumb of the cake! Dreams!!
Might have to make it for breakfast!

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9×13 baking sheet or dish with nonstick spray.
-
In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt.
-
In the bowl of your electric mixer, beat together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Beat in the eggs 1 at a time. Beat in the vanilla extract. Beat in the mashed bananas and yogurt until combined.
-
Stir in the dry ingredients on low speed, scraping down the sides if needed, until just combined. Don’t over mix!
-
Pour the mixture into the greased baking dish. Bake for 28 to 33 minutes, or until a tester inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool completely.

-
Beat the cream cheese, peanut butter and butter together until creamy. Beat in the sugar and cocoa powder until combined. Beat in the vanilla extract. If it’s still too thick, you can add in some milk 1 tablespoon at a time.
-
Frost the cooled cake! I like to keep the cake in the fridge because of the cream cheese frosting – plus we love cold cake.
My new BFF.
