We buy a lot of bananas at the Feels like Home house. Grace loves them, and she always has. I like them, too, and so does Joe.
Occasionally, though, a banana will expire. You just know when it’s happened.
I hate to throw food away, though, so I like to put the soggy banana into something I’m about to bake. They’re good in French Toast, brownies, cakes, and just about everything else I’ve ever mashed them into.
Be careful about having too much moisture if you add mashed banana to an existing recipe. You have to play with that a little.
I haven’t tried this recipe yet, and I’m not sure where I found it, but it looks good to me.
| Banana Sour Cream Cake |
Ingredients
- 1 pkg (2-layer size) yellow cake mix
- 3 eggs
- 1 cup mashed banana (about 3)
- 1 cup sour cream
- cup oil
- 8 oz cream cheese
- cup butter, softened
- 16 oz powdered sugar (about 4 cups)
- 1 cup walnut pieces, finely chopped
Instructions
- Heat oven to 350.
- Beat cake mix, eggs, bananas, sour cream, and oil with mixer on low until moistened, scraping bottom of the bowl often. Beat on medium 2 minutes.
- Pour into greased and floured 13×9-inch pan. Bake 35 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool cake completely in pan on wire rack.
- Beat cream cheese and butter with mixer on medium until blended. Gradually add sugar, beating well after each addition.
- Remove cake from pan. Carefully cut cake crosswise in half using serrated knife.
- Place one cake half, top-side down, on platter; spread with frosting. Top with remaining cake half, top-side up. Frost top and sides.
- Press nuts onto sides and sprinkle over top.
- Refrigerate leftovers.

This would probably be good without the frosting. I always have leftover bananas
