Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13 inch baking pan.
In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the sour cream and vanilla.
Combine flour, baking soda, and salt; gradually mix into the creamed mixture.
Stir in the mashed bananas until just blended.
Pour batter into prepared pan and spread evenly.
Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Allow cake to cool completely before frosting.
For the frosting, beat together softened butter and cream cheese until smooth.
Gradually add powdered sugar until desired consistency is reached, then mix in vanilla extract.
Frost cooled cake and serve.

Notes

For an extra banana flavor, use very ripe bananas with brown spots.
You can add chopped walnuts or pecans to the batter for texture.
Refrigerate leftovers for up to 5 days.
