  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar

  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 8 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened (for frosting)
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract for frosting

Method
 

  1. Preheat Your Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  2. Prepare the Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Set this aside.
  3. Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter with granulated sugar and brown sugar until it’s light and fluffy.
  4. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Incorporate Bananas and Sour Cream: Mix in the mashed ripe bananas and sour cream until everything is fully combined.
  6. Combine Wet and Dry: Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
  7. Pour and Bake: Pour the batter into your prepared baking dish and smooth the top. Bake for about 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool completely.
  8. Make the Cream Cheese Frosting: In a medium bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese and butter until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar and mix until fully incorporated. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  9. Frost the Cake: Spread the cream cheese frosting evenly over the cooled cake. Slice and enjoy!
