Indulge in this moist and flavorful banana walnut cream cake with a delightful mix of ripe bananas, creamy custard, and crunchy walnuts.

Ingredients:

• Dry Ingredients:
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp salt
• Wet Ingredients:
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • 3 ripe bananas, mashed
• Mix-ins:
  • ½ cup chopped walnuts
  • ½ cup white chocolate chips
• For Garnish:
  • 1 banana, sliced
  • ¼ cup whole/halved walnuts
  • 2 cups creamy custard (or vanilla cream)

Directions:

Prepare the Cake Batter:

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease two 8-inch round cake pans.
2. In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
3. Cream butter and sugar until fluffy, then add eggs one at a time, followed by vanilla extract.
4. Mix in sour cream and mashed bananas until smooth.
5. Gradually combine wet and dry ingredients. Fold in walnuts and white chocolate chips.

Bake the Cake Layers:

6. Divide batter between pans and bake for 30-35 minutes until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
7. Cool cakes in pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Assemble the Cake:

8. Spread creamy custard between the cooled cake layers and over the top.
9. Garnish with banana slices and walnuts for an extra touch of elegance.
10. Optionally, drizzle with white chocolate ganache for a luxurious finish.

Tips for Best Results:

• Use ripe bananas: Overripe bananas add natural sweetness and moisture to the cake.
• Don’t overmix: Gently fold in dry ingredients to avoid a dense texture.
• Chill before serving: Refrigerating the cake enhances the flavors and texture.
