Description
A moist and delicious banana walnut cake layered with creamy custard, topped with fresh banana slices and walnuts.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 3 ripe bananas, mashed
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
- 2 cups creamy custard
- 1 banana, sliced
- 1/4 cup whole or halved walnuts
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and flour two 8-inch round cake pans.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream unsalted butter and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
- Beat in eggs one at a time, then blend in the vanilla extract.
- Mix in sour cream and mashed bananas until fully incorporated.
- Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing just until combined.
- Gently fold in chopped walnuts and white chocolate chips.
- Evenly divide batter between prepared pans. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Let cakes cool in pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, spread half of the creamy custard on top of one cake layer.
- Position second cake layer over the first and cover evenly with remaining custard.
- Arrange banana slices and walnuts over the top. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.
Notes
- Make sure the bananas are ripe for better flavor.
- The cake can be made a day in advance; just store it in the refrigerator.
- For an extra crunch, toast the walnuts before adding them to the batter.
