Simple Banana Cake with Sour Cream Frosting

A few weeks ago, I had some bananas that needed to be turned into something.  I wanted to make a sweet treat and this simple banana cake is what I ended up creating.  It is delicious.  I think my husband finished off half the cake himself.

The cake is moist and flavorful.  The sour cream frosting was the perfect accompaniment.  The sour cream gave the sweet frosting just enough tang.  You could even turn the banana cake into a sheet cake.  Just be sure to double the frosting.

Remember that I will be appearing on Studio 5 today at 11 am!
