For the cake
2 3/4 cups cake flour
1 tablespoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1 pinch salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup dark brown sugar, packed
1 cup granulated sugar
2 eggs
4 medium ripe bananas, mashed
2/3 cup buttermilk, at room temperature
For the frosting
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
3 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar, sifted
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 tablespoon milk
1 cup walnuts, toasted

1
For the cake: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour 2 9-inch round cake pans.
2
In a small bowl, sift together flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, cloves, and salt into a medium bowl; set aside.
3
In a large bowl using a stand mixer, beat butter until fluffy, about 1 minute. Gradually add granulated sugar and brown sugar and mix until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
4
Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the bananas. The mixture will look curdled - that is okay.
5
Add flour mixture alternately with the buttermilk, beginning and ending with the flour mixture; there should be three additions of the flour mixture and two of the buttermilk.
6
Pour batter into prepared pans, smoothing tops with an offset spatula to make even.
7
Bake for 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean. Remove from the oven; cool in the pans for 10 minutes before turning onto cake racks. Cool completely before frosting
8
For the frosting: In a large mixing bowl, with an electric mixer, cream the cheese and butter until fluffy, about a minute.
9
Add the sugar, 1/2 cup at a time, mixing after each addition.
10
Add the vanilla extract and mix well; add milk if necessary to achieve spreading consistency.
11
Frost cake; top cake with toasted walnut pieces.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
Leave out the nuts to make it nut-free, or swap in seeds for a similar crunch.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
Coconut cream is a reliable plant-based alternative to dairy cream.
