Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 large ripe bananas, mashed
  • 2 cups (240 g) all-purpose flour
  • ¾ cup (150 g) granulated sugar
  • ½ cup (100 g) brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • ½ cup (1 stick) butter, softened
  • ½ cup (120 g) sour cream
  • 1 cup (100 g) chopped walnuts
  • 8 oz (225 g) cream cheese
  • 2 cups (240 g) powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
  2. In a bowl, mix flour, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, beat butter with both sugars until light and fluffy. Add eggs, vanilla, bananas, and sour cream. Mix until combined.
  4. Stir in dry ingredients just until mixed. Fold in walnuts.
  5. Divide batter between prepared pans. Bake for 25–30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool in pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
  6. Beat cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth. Add vanilla and beat until fluffy.
  7. Frost one cake layer with half the frosting, add sliced bananas if desired, top with second layer, and frost top and sides. Sprinkle with chopped walnuts.
  8. Chill for 30 minutes before slicing and serving.
