Mom's Banana Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting

This old fashioned standard has all the flavor you'd expect to find in a quick bread but is just as tender and satisfying as the best layer cakes. It's packed with four bananas, ensuring that unmistakable flavor, then slathered with a luxurious but classic cream cheese frosting.  This dessert doesn't need any frills delivered by decorations or piping bags; the cake really just speaks for itself.

Carrot & Apple Cupcakes

I wanted to tweak an old standby by turning a traditional carrot cake into kid-friendly cupcakes but with the "adult" cream cheese frosting. I reduced the amount of sugar needed by adding shredded Fuji apples to the mix and loads of fragrant spices. Whipped cream was whipped with cinnamon and folded into the classic, dense cream cheese version creating a light, dreamy texture.
