The riper the banana, the sweeter the cake! Ingredients: For the cake 1 1/4 cup sugar 1 cup sour cream 2 eggs 4 tablespoons butter, melted 4 medium, super ripe bananas, mashed 2 teaspoons vanilla extract 2 cups all-purpose flour 1/2 teaspoon table salt 1 teaspoon baking soda 1 cup chopped walnuts (optional) For the frosting (optional) 4 tablespoons butter, softened 1/2 cup heavy cream 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 2 1/2 cups confectioners sugar Directions: Preheat the oven to 375F degrees. Spray 13x9 baking dish with nonstick cooking spray (I like the kind that has flour in it). In a medium bowl, cream together sugar, sour cream, egg, and melted butter. Add mashed bananas and vanilla extract. Add flour, salt, and baking soda; mix well. Pour into greased pan. Bake for 20-25 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool completely before frosting. To make frosting: Cream butter and confectioners sugar together until smooth. Slowly add the heavy cream; stir until smooth. Stir in vanilla extract. Spread on cooled cake. Cook’s Note: The frosting really is optional in this. This cake is so moist and is plenty sweet all by itself. It will be more like a snack cake without the frosting. Like cream cheese frosting? Try adding 1/2 block (4 oz.) of softened cream cheese to the frosting mixture, adding a little more milk or heavy cream if necessary to make it spreadable.
