Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • 3 ripe bananas, mashed
  • ½ cup chopped walnuts
  • ½ cup white chocolate chips
  • 2 cups creamy custard
  • 1 banana, sliced for garnish
  • ¼ cup walnuts for garnish


Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease two 8-inch round cake pans.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat together the butter and sugar until creamy. Add eggs, one at a time, followed by vanilla extract.
  4. Mash the bananas and mix with sour cream until smooth, then fold into the butter mixture.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently.
  6. Fold in the chopped walnuts and white chocolate chips.
  7. Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared pans and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  8. Cool the cakes completely before assembling. Once cooled, layer with creamy custard and top with banana slices and walnuts.

Notes

  • Store the cake in the refrigerator for up to 3 days for the best texture, especially after chilling for an hour.
  • Ensure to use ripe bananas with brown spots for optimal sweetness and flavor.
