Ingredients
  

For the Cake:

  • 2 cups of all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon of salt
  • 1/2 cup of unsalted butter softened
  • 1 cup of granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs

For the Frosting:

Instructions
 

Preparing the Cake Batter

  • Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and greasing two 9-inch round cake pans.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  • In another bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients mixture to the wet ingredients, alternating with mashed bananas and sour cream. Begin and end with the dry ingredients.

Baking the Cake Layers

  • Divide the cake batter equally between the prepared pans.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Making the Frosting

  • While the cake layers cool, prepare the frosting. In a mixing bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy. Add vanilla extract.
  • Gradually add powdered sugar, one cup at a time, and beat until well combined.
  • Add milk to reach your desired consistency.

Assembling the Cake

  • Once the cake layers are completely cooled, spread a generous amount of frosting on top of one layer.
  • Place the second cake layer on top and frost the entire cake, including the sides.
