  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup mashed ripe bananas about 3 medium

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13-inch baking pan or two 9-inch round pans.

  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla extract.
  5. Mix in the mashed bananas and sour cream until smooth.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring just until combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  8. Bake for 30–35 minutes (for a 9x13 pan) or 25–30 minutes (for round pans), until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
