Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Grease and flour two 8-inch round cake pans.

Step 2: Prepare the Dry Ingredients

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Set aside.

Step 3: Mix Wet Ingredients

  • In a large mixing bowl, cream together 1/2 cup of softened butter and 1 cup of granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  • Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.

Step 4: Add Bananas and Sour Cream

Step 6: Bake the Cake

  • Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared cake pans.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 7: Cool the Cake

  • Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then turn them out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 8: Assemble the Cake

  • Once the cakes have cooled, spread half of the creamy custard over the top of one cake layer.
  • Place the second cake layer on top, then spread the remaining custard over the top.

Step 9: Garnish and Serve

  • Garnish the top of the cake with banana slices and whole or halved walnuts.
  • Serve immediately, or refrigerate until ready to serve.

Tips for Success

  • Make sure the bananas are ripe for the best flavor and moisture in the cake.
  • Don’t overmix the batter once the dry ingredients are added, to ensure a light and fluffy cake.
  • Refrigerate any leftovers and consume within 2-3 days for the best taste.
