Ingredients
To make the cake:
- 2/3 cup white granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 egg
- 2 Tablespoons butter, softened
- 2 medium bananas, mashed
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
To make the frosting:
- 2 Tablespoons butter, softened
- 1 1/4 cups powdered sugar
- 2-3 Tablespoons milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray an 8x8 baking pan with cooking spray and set aside.
- Using an electric mixer, beat together the sugar, sour cream, egg, and softened butter over medium speed until combined. Add in the mashed bananas and vanilla extract.
- Stir in the flour, baking soda, and salt by hand, mixing until just combined. Pour into the prepared baking dish and bake in the preheated oven for 22-28 minutes, until top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool completely on a wire rack.
- To make the frosting, beat the butter, powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract with an electric mixer until smooth. Evenly spread over the cooled cake and serve. I like to sprinkle the frosted cake with a little cinnamon for an extra boost of flavor and color, but this is optional! Refrigerate any leftovers.
Notes
- The recipe can be doubled and baked in a 9x13 baking dish.
- Use room temperature butter, sour cream, and egg for the cake. This will help your ingredients to incorporate more smoothly.
- Add a sprinkle of cinnamon on top of your frosted banana cake for a pretty presentation and a little flavor boost!
- To make your banana snack cake in advance, prepare as directed 1-2 days ahead of time and store covered in the refrigerator. I do recommend removing it from the refrigerator and allowing it to come closer to room temperature about 1-2 hours before serving.
- Store the frosted cake, covered, on the counter for up to 3 days.
- You can also freeze your banana snack cake for up to 6 months. Allow it to thaw on the counter top before enjoying.
