Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.75 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1.5 cups granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 4 medium ripe bananas, mashed
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
- 0.25 cup powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and flour a bundt pan to prevent sticking.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, using a hand mixer or stand mixer, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Mix in the mashed bananas until fully incorporated.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the sour cream. Begin and end with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined—do not overmix.
Fold in the chopped nuts using a spatula.
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared bundt pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, carefully invert the cake onto a wire rack to cool completely.
If desired, sift powdered sugar over the top of the cooled cake before serving for a decorative touch.
Slice and serve. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
