Moist Banana Cake

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan with butter and dust lightly with flour.

2. 2

   In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas until mostly smooth with just a few small lumps remaining for texture.

3. 3

   Add the melted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and sour cream to the mashed bananas. Whisk until well combined.

4. 4

   In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.

5. 5

   Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring just until combined. Don't overmix - a few lumps are okay.

6. 6

   Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly using a spatula.

7. 7

   Bake for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.

8. 8

   Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

9. 9

   Slice into squares and serve. The cake can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature.
