Banana Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Frosting

I got this recipe years ago at a recipe exchange. 

The banana cake is rich, moist, and bursting with banana flavor.  I love the flavor of this cake. 

The cream cheese frosting is simple and a great compliment. 

I've made this as a cake and cupcakes. 

It's also super easy to half...which is a great option if you'd like only 12 cupcakes instead of 24 calling your name!

Let's Get Started:

Banana Cupcakes

4  very ripe bananas-mashed

2 cups white sugar

2 cups self-rising flour

2 eggs

3/4 cup vegetable oil

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F

Grease cupcake liners or 9 x 13 pan

Combine sugar and self-rising flour in a large bowl.  Add bananas, eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract.  Beat until combined on low-medium speed. 

Pour dough into prepared cupcake liners.

Bake for 15-18 minutes or until inserted toothpick is clean.

1 (8 ounce) box of cream cheese, softened
