1 cup granulated sugar 🍬
2 large eggs 🥚
1 teaspoon vanilla extract 🍨
1/2 cup sour cream 🥛
3 ripe bananas, mashed 🍌
1/2 cup chopped walnuts 🌰
1/2 cup white chocolate chips 🍫
For the Filling and Topping:
2 cups creamy custard 🍮
1 banana, sliced (for garnish) 🍌
1/4 cup whole or halved walnuts 🌰 (for garnish)
Directions:
Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 8-inch round cake pans.
Prepare Dry Ingredients:
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour 🍞, baking soda 🧪, and salt 🧂. Set aside.
Cream Butter and Sugar:
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter 🧈 and granulated sugar 🍬 until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs 🥚 one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract 🍨.
Add Wet Ingredients:
Mix in the sour cream 🥛 and mashed bananas 🍌 until well combined.
Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Fold in the chopped walnuts 🌰 and white chocolate chips 🍫.
Bake the Cakes:
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then turn them out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Assemble the Cake:
Once the cakes have cooled, spread half of the creamy custard 🍮 over the top of one layer. Place the second layer on top and spread the remaining custard over the top.
