Ingredients
Scale
- 3 ripe bananas, mashed
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease your baking pan with butter or non-stick spray. Mash the bananas until smooth and set aside.
- In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add eggs one at a time, followed by vanilla extract, and mix well.
- Stir in mashed bananas and sour cream until evenly incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet mixture, folding gently to combine.
- Pour the batter into your prepared pan and smooth the surface. Bake for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Overripe bananas enhance sweetness and flavor.
- Add nuts like walnuts or pecans for added crunch.
- Replacing sour cream with Greek yogurt makes it healthier.
- Chocolate chips can be added to the batter for a chocolatey twist.
