1 ½ cups mashed ripe bananas

½ cup sour cream

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 cup chopped pecans

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.

In a separate bowl, beat butter and sugar until fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, then mix in mashed bananas, sour cream, and vanilla.

Gradually add the dry ingredients, then fold in chopped pecans.

Divide the batter between the pans and bake for 25-30 minutes. Let cakes cool completely.
