Step-by-Step Instructions for Vanilla Banana Walnut Cake

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease your cake pan.
  • In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  • Mash the ripe bananas in a separate bowl until smooth. Add to the creamed mixture and mix well.
  • Incorporate the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract, mixing well after each addition.
  • Whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl. Set aside.
  • Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the banana mixture, alternating with the sour cream until just combined.
  • Fold in the chopped walnuts and pour the batter into the prepared cake pan. Smooth the top.
  • Bake for approximately 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Use very ripe bananas for the best flavor. Avoid overmixing to keep the cake light and fluffy. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days at room temperature.
