Step‑by‑Step Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C) and grease a 10-inch bundt pan.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, and ½ teaspoon of salt.
- Mash 4 ripe bananas until smooth and measure out 1¾ cups.
- In a stand mixer, combine ½ cup of unsalted butter, ½ cup of granulated sugar, and ½ cup of light brown sugar and beat on medium speed for 2-3 minutes until light and fluffy.
- Add 2 room temperature eggs one at a time, followed by 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract and the mashed bananas. Mix well.
- Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the banana mixture, alternating with ½ cup of sour cream, mixing on low until just combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan and smooth the top, then bake for 50-60 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Cool the cake in the pan for 10 minutes, then invert onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- For the cream cheese glaze, mix together 8 ounces of cream cheese, 1 cup of powdered sugar, ½ teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 2-4 tablespoons of milk until smooth.
- Once cooled, drizzle the glaze over the cake and top with chopped walnuts or pecans if desired.

Notes
For optimal flavor, use very ripe bananas with brown spots and avoid overmixing the batter.
