Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly
  • 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3 very ripe bananas, mashed (about 1 1/2 cups)
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 to 2 tbsp milk
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract (for the glaze)

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 10-12 cup bundt pan. Whisk flour, baking soda, and salt in a bowl.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk butter and brown sugar for 1 minute until smooth. Whisk in eggs, vanilla, mashed bananas, then sour cream.
  3. Stir the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until no flour streaks remain, about 20-30 strokes.
  4. Scrape batter into the pan, smooth the top, and bake 45-55 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes, invert onto a rack, and cool completely.
  5. Beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, 1 tbsp milk, and vanilla until smooth. Add more milk if needed. Glaze the cooled cake and let it set 15 minutes before serving.

Notes

Let the cake cool all the way before glazing, or the glaze will slide off. If you’re short on time, a simple dusting of powdered sugar works just as well. For the cleanest slices, use a serrated knife and wipe it between cuts.
