Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Hand mixer or stand mixer
  • Whisk
  • 9x13-inch baking dish
  • Spatula

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup mashed ripe bananas (about 2 large bananas)
  • 1/2 cup sour cream

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9x13-inch baking dish by greasing and lightly dusting with flour.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
  • Beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  • Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  • Mix in the mashed bananas and sour cream until fully combined.
  • Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top.
  • Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool completely.
  • Beat cream cheese and butter until smooth, then gradually add powdered sugar and stir in vanilla extract. Frost the cooled cake.

Notes

Use very ripe bananas for the best sweetness.
Don’t skip the sour cream; it keeps the cake moist.
You can substitute Greek yogurt for sour cream if necessary.
For added crunch, fold in 1/2 cup of chopped nuts.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to five days, or freeze individual slices.
