Description

A dense and moist sour cream banana cake served with sweetened sour cream topping. Yum! You don’t even need a mixer for this one.

Ingredients

  • FOR THE CAKE:
  • 2 cups All-purpose Flour
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • ½ teaspoons Salt
  • 2 whole Large Eggs
  • 1-½ cup Granulated Sugar
  • 1 cup Sour Cream
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 3 whole Ripe Bananas, Peeled And Mashed
  • _____
  • FOR THE TOPPING:
  • 1 cup Sour Cream
  • 1 cup Whipped Topping
  • ¼ cups Brown Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Lemon Juice

Preparation

To make the cake:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9-inch square pan with nonstick cooking spray.

In a small bowl, stir together the flour, baking soda and salt. Set the dry ingredients aside.

In a large bowl, whisk eggs thoroughly to incorporate plenty of air. Whisk in the sugar.

Stir in sour cream, dry ingredients, vanilla extract and bananas, just until dry ingredients are moistened. Pour into prepared pan and bake approximately 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.

Cool completely and served topped with a dollop of Sweetened Sour Cream Topping.

To make the topping, in a medium bowl, stir together all topping ingredients. Let stand 10 minutes, then stir again just before serving.

Topping keeps well refrigerated.

Speaking of… next time you make banana pudding, if you make the custard on the stove from scratch add 1/4 tsp nutmeg. it takes is to a whole new level

This recipe was so simple! I added an extra banana (because I wanted to use what I had!) and an extra teaspoon of vanilla. I didn’t use the topping because it was perfect without it! Absolutely moist and delicious !

Super moist and yummy! I baked mine in a 10″ skillet and it was perfect. Made a PB frosting for the top. :)

This was great – I agree with gogoginny though, the cake stands on its own. It was a little too something – I might experiment a bit with the topping to see if I can make it more to our taste.
