  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
  • For the Frosting:
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 4 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • For the Topping:
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts

Instructions

1. Preheat and Prep

Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans to prevent sticking.

2. Mix the Dry Ingredients

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.

3. Cream It Up

In a large bowl, beat the butter and granulated sugar until fluffy.

4. Add the Essentials

Mix in the eggs one at a time, followed by the mashed bananas and vanilla extract for that irresistible aroma.

5. Combine and Fold

Gradually incorporate the dry mixture into the wet ingredients, alternating with the sour cream until just combined. Gently fold in the walnuts.

6. Bake

Divide the batter evenly into the cake pans. Bake for 25-30 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool in pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.

7. Frosting Fun

Beat together the cream cheese and butter until smooth. Gradually mix in powdered sugar and vanilla extract until fluffy.

8. Assemble the Dream

Place one cake layer on a dish, spread with frosting, layer the second cake on top, and frost the entire cake.

9. Finish with Flair

Sprinkle chopped walnuts on top as the final touch.

10. Enjoy

Slice and savor your masterpiece!

Notes

Storage

Keep the cake stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for longer freshness.

Banana Ripeness

Ensure your bananas are very ripe for optimal sweetness and flavor in the cake.

Nut Allergies

Feel free to omit the walnuts if there are nut allergies, or substitute with another ingredient that fits your needs.

Frosting Consistency

If the frosting is too thick, add a splash of milk to reach your desired spreadability.
