Banana cake with sour cream
Description
To make a banana cake with sour cream, you'll need rich sour cream, ripe bananas, a bit of vanilla extract, and nuts for decoration (optional). Sour cream-based batter turns out quite versatile, so I often bake cakes with other fruits as well. By the way, if you prefer larger fruit pieces in the batter, just slice the bananas into chunks.

Step 5
Grease the baking pan, spread the dough evenly, and bake for 35 minutes in a preheated oven at 175 degrees. Check for doneness with a toothpick—it should come out dry. If desired, you can make a cream and spread it over the finished cake: mix cream cheese with powdered sugar, add a teaspoon of vanilla extract and milk if desired. You can also sprinkle the ready banana cake with sour cream with nuts or berries for decoration.
