Here is my very simple recipe that I use for my banana cake :

FROSTING:
1 stick butter, softened
8 oz package cream cheese, softened
1 box powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract

To prepare frosting: Cream together butter and cream cheese. Add sugar and vanilla and continue beating until of spreading consistency. Frost when cake has completely cooled.

Here ya go SwissMiss, this is from one of my friend's Grandma. It is excellent. The recipe calls for frosting the cake, but I never have. It is so moist and tasty it rarely lasts long enough to cool, much less frost:

My recipe is identical to yours, except it calls for 2 teaspoons of vanilla instead of one.

I think the key to good banana cake, bars, bread... is to use VERY ripe bananas with completely blackened skins.
