This banana cake is very moist and also light in texture. It is a wonderful cake even without the icing, but if you love your cream cheese frostings you'll want to add it too. Any type of icing would be delicious.
Most recently, I tried a chocolate glaze on top with sliced almonds and it was delish. Next, I want to try a peanut butter icing and see how that pairs with it. It is an easy cake to get creative with.

I found this recipe in one of my Kraft magazines.

I hope you enjoy.

How to Make Banana Sour Cream Cake

Step-by-Step

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Greas and flour 13X9-inch baking pan, set aside. Beat cake mix, eggs, bananas, sour cream and oil in large bowl with electric mixer on low speed just until moistened, stopping frequently to scrape bowl. Beat on medium speed for 2 minutes and then pour into your pan.

Fix your icing Combine your cream cheese and butter together with mixer on medium speed. Gradually add sugar and blend after each addition till you have added all sugar.
Remove cake from pan; cut crosswise in half. Next freeze both layers for at least 20 minutes before frosting. (This helps to set the crumbs on the cut edges.) Frost in between layers and then place one on top of another and ice the entire outside of cake. Once completed carefully press walnuts into the frosting on sides of cake. Store in refrigerator.

(This picture I added a chocolate glaze and sliced almonds instead of walnuts. It gave it another beautiful look to it.)
