  • 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil (or unflavored coconut oil)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  3. Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  4. Combine wet and dry ingredients: Gradually add dry ingredients to wet mixture and mix until well combined. Fold in nuts if using.
  5. Bake: Pour batter into prepared pan and bake for 32-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool.
  6. Make frosting: In a mixing bowl, cream together cream cheese and butter. Add vanilla and gradually mix in powdered sugar until smooth.
  7. Frost the cake: Spread frosting evenly over cooled cake. Top with nuts and/or banana slices if desired.
