I have a friend with an incredible blog, called Carlsbad Cravings. Jen is a writer here on Real Housemoms too and I’m a huge fan of her stuff! Not only that, but I’m a huge fan of her as a person too!!! She is the sweetest, most caring person ever! She’s totally my role model! She made a Cream Cheese Stuffed Carrot Cake last year that I’ve been dreaming of forEVER! I decided that I wanted to make my own versions. I decided to make Cream Cheese Stuffed Banana Carrot Cake. I wanted to include banana in my cake because it would totally taste amazing, and it does, but also because in my mind if I add banana it becomes perfectly acceptable to eat at breakfast or brunch!

The cake looks like a lot of work but it really isn’t! It’s super simple to make and worth every single step! You’re really just making a super simple cake and then mixing up a bit of cheesecake batter to spoon in the middle. It’s not had and everyone will think you’re a genius! I think this cake would be the perfect addition to your Easter brunch but I can see us having it all spring and summer long! It’s so amazing and I’m in LOVE! It reminds me of our Carrot Cake Muffins with Cream Cheese Filling! This is a total win in my book! Thanks Jen for the inspiration!!
