Servings: 12 slices
Ingredients
- 3 ripe bananas, mashed
- 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
- 1 cup sour cream
- ½ cup butter, softened
- 2 eggs
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease and flour a bundt pan like your cake’s life depends on it.
- In a big bowl, mix mashed bananas, sugar, sour cream, butter, eggs, and vanilla. Stir until smooth-ish.
- Sprinkle in flour, baking soda, and salt. Mix just until combined. No overthinking, no overmixing.
- Pour the batter into your prepared bundt pan. Smooth the top with a spoon (or not, no pressure).
- Bake for 60–65 minutes. When a toothpick comes out clean, you're golden.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Flip it onto a wire rack and pretend you’re not dying to slice into it immediately.
