There’s nothing like biting into a fresh-baked Pecan Banana Cake Mix Cake! Easy, simple, homemade goodness baked with pecans and topped with a delicious maple cream cheese frosting, and toasted pecans. This cake is perfect for any and every occasion!
First of all, my Pecan Banana Cake Mix Cake is buttery and soft. As wll, it’s full of banana flavor and topped with a silky glaze. You may be tempted to eat the glaze with a spoon, it’s that good.
Furthermore, I sprinkled chopped pecans over the glaze to dress the cake up a little since I was taking it to a potluck dinner. That addition is optional.
Consequently, I’m a fan of starting a cake with a mix. Cake mixes are designed to be almost full proof and tolerate a little under-beating as well as a little over-beating. As long as you don’t under or over cook the cake, starting with a cake mix is great way to learn to bake. Seems like, it’s great for kids and beginners … and even experienced cooks that either don’t have a lot of time or do have a craving! Hand raised… I always have a cake craving.

I made this cake in a tube pan and it did not rise like yours and the frosting on your cake looked more like confection sugar it was so white and thick where the sugar frosting on your recipe is more clear. The cake tasted good, but not a fan of the frosting if I did it right.
