Ever found yourself eating banana bread for dessert or cake for breakfast because both are favorites and well, just good? If you love both, here is a new recipe to try that brings the best of both worlds, it is a banana cake with cream cheese cake like filling. Perfect for breakfast, lunch, dinner, dessert, snack, you name it. I may start calling it breakfast bread and can’t wait to take it to the next event where I need to bring a snack – people will love this one. The cake stays moist, too, with both the bananas and the cream cheese adding richness to the texture.

Good luck keeping this one around for more than 24 hours. I’ve made it twice and the longest it has survived in my house is 10 hours. My boys love this and so do I. Easy to make, too. The yummy cream cheese filling is what will keep me coming back, though. Here’s how to make some for yourself.
