Banana cake just got even better with lashings of thick, fluffy frosting! You won't believe how yummy this tastes, especially with a cup of coffee…   

Ingredients

125g unsalted butter, chopped, at room temperature
1 cup caster sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 eggs, at room temperature 1 cup mashed banana
1⁄2 cup buttermilk
