Ingredients

• 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1.5 teaspoons Cinnamon
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, melted
• 1 cup Sour cream
• 3 medium Ripe bananas, mashed
• 2 large Eggs
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup Walnuts or pecans, chopped (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking pan or a similar-sized bundt pan.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon.

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, mix the melted butter, sour cream, mashed bananas, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 4

Gradually fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients using a spatula or wooden spoon. Stir until just combined—do not overmix.

Step 5

In a small bowl, combine the remaining 0.5 teaspoons of cinnamon with 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar to create a cinnamon-sugar topping.

Step 6

If using, gently fold the chopped walnuts or pecans into the cake batter.

Step 7

Pour half of the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle half of the cinnamon-sugar topping over the batter.

Step 8

Pour the remaining batter into the pan and spread it evenly. Sprinkle the remaining cinnamon-sugar mixture on top.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and allow the cake to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
