Instructions

Preheat Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 8-inch round cake pans.

Dry Ingredients
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.

Wet Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs, one at a time, then mix in vanilla.

Add Bananas & Sour Cream
Stir in sour cream and mashed bananas until well combined.

Combine Batter
Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet. Fold in walnuts and white chocolate chips. Do not overmix.

Bake
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans. Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

Cool
Cool cakes in the pans for 10 minutes. Remove and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Assemble the Cake
Place one cake layer on a serving plate. Spread half of the custard on top. Add the second cake layer and spread the remaining custard on top.

Garnish
Decorate with banana slices and walnuts.

Serve or Chill
Serve immediately or refrigerate for 2–3 hours to allow the custard to firm up.

Notes

Bananas: Use very ripe bananas (with brown spots) for best flavor and moisture.

Custard Tip: Chill the cake before serving for a firmer, more pudding-like texture.

Nut-Free: Omit walnuts if allergic—no substitutions needed.

Make Ahead: Bake cake layers 1 day ahead and store tightly wrapped until assembling.
