Banana & Honey Cake with Brown Sugar Frosting and Marzipan Bees Tutorial 🐝 🍯 🍌 I decorated the cake with flowers from my garden as pansies, yarrow leaves, grapes hyacinths (yes, they are safe just don’t go eating a field of them), and pincushion flowers!

2 cups all purpose flour 
1 1/4 cup sugar
3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup smashed banana
1 cup milk
1/2 cup melted butter 
1/4 cup honey

Preheat oven to 350° F. Grease an 8x8 pan and line with parchment paper. Set aside. 
In a large bowl add the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir to evenly distribute. Add the smashed banana, milk, butter and honey. Stir until smooth and evenly combined. This should take about 2 minutes. 
Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake for approximately 50 minutes - or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. 
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 30 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool
Completely. While the cake cools you may begin working on the frosting. 

Frosting: 
1 cup butter (softened)
1/2 cup brown sugar 
4-5 cups powdered sugar (sifted)
1/4 cup heavy whipping cream

Using an electric mixer, cream together your butter and brown sugar. Once lightened slightly begin adding your powdered sugar in 1/2 a cup at a time. Allow to fully incorporate before adding more. Once you’ve added two cups of powders sugar slowly add in the heavy whipping cream. Once incorporated begin adding the remainder of the powdered sugar until desired consistency and sweetness is achieved. Frost the cake and allow it to chill in the refrigerated until ready to serve.  #bakersgonnabake #cakedecorating #whimsicalcake #whimsymaxxing #cakestagram
