Picture 500

Can you see how moist this Banana cake is?? This has to be the most moist Banana cake I've ever made.

 This recipe came from Epicurious and it's fantastic! It has butter and sour cream in it and it's very easy to make. It came with a sour cream frosting but I opted to just put a cream cheese frosting on it. I read the reviews on the cake from Epicurious and a lot of the people suggested folding the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients just till combined instead of mixing with a mixer so that's what I did. I guarantee if you make this you'll never have to look for another banana cake recipe again!!

2 cups all purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon baking soda

Mmm. I have exceedingly fond memories of the banana cake with cream cheese frosting that my mother used to make when I was young. So moist and succulent.

I've ben craving something banana and this would work just fine for me. I also prefer the cream cheese icing on just about everything - red velvet cake, carrot cake and banana cake. Yummy

So moist looks wonderful! I just made some banana kiwi bread. I bet kiwi would be good in this recipe too! Thanks!

It looks awesome! Not just moist but fluffy, too... I usually chuck some crushed pineapple in banana cakes for additional moistness but this recipe could change everything.
