When I have enough I make a double recipe of this cake.It's great with cream cheese frosting.Banana cake originated in Africa and is another Southern favorite. If it gets stale, use it to make banana bread pudding! | | Ingredients | | 1 1/4 cups granulated_sugar

4 Tbsps sour_cream
3/4 cup pecans or walnuts , chopped (optional)

With an electric mixer, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Break eggs into a bowl and lightly beat them. | | Step: 2 | Add eggs to sugar and butter mixture, stirring lightly to mix.
Combine baking soda and sour cream and add to the creamed mixture.
Beat well, then add bananas, flour, salt and vanilla, stirring gently or mixing on low speed a few minutes. | | Step: 3 | Bake for 35-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the loaf comes out clean.
