Steps:
- Cream sugar and butter.
- Add bananas and eggs, stir well.
- Add sour cream.
- Sift flour and baking soda and add.

Tips:
- Use ripe bananas: Overripe bananas are sweeter and have more flavor, making them perfect for banana nut cake. If your bananas are not ripe enough, you can ripen them quickly by placing them in a paper bag with an apple or pear for a few days.
- Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy: This will help to incorporate air into the batter, making the cake light and airy.
- Add the eggs one at a time: This will help to prevent the batter from curdling.
- Fold in the dry ingredients gradually: Overmixing the batter can make the cake tough.
- Add chopped nuts to the batter: Walnuts, pecans, and almonds are all great choices.
- Bake the cake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 50-60 minutes: A toothpick inserted into the center of the cake should come out clean when the cake is done.
Conclusion:
Banana nut cake is a classic dessert that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With its moist texture, sweet banana flavor, and crunchy walnuts, it's the perfect cake for any occasion. So next time you have some ripe bananas on hand, be sure to give this recipe a try.
