Method
1
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
2
Combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl. Set aside.
3
Cream together the 1/2 cup margarine and granulated sugar in a large bowl until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
4
Beat in the eggs one at a time, then add the vanilla extract and mashed bananas, mixing until well combined.
5
Alternately add the flour mixture and the 1/2 cup buttermilk (or sour milk) to the wet ingredients, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Stir until just combined after each addition.
6
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 35 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.

Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
8
Prepare the cream cheese icing by beating the cream cheese and 1/4 cup margarine together in a bowl until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
9
Gradually add the sifted icing sugar to the cream cheese mixture, beating on low speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Do not overmix.

Once the cake is completely cooled, spread or pipe the cream cheese icing over the top and sides of the cake.
