Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 cups unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 3 medium ripe bananas, mashed
• 0.25 cups Kahlua liqueur
• 0.5 cups sour cream
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.5 cups chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar for dusting (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round or square cake pan, or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.

Step 5

Mix in the mashed bananas, Kahlua, sour cream, and vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 6

Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just incorporated. If using, fold in the chopped walnuts or pecans.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean.

Step 9

Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Once cooled, dust the top with powdered sugar if desired before serving.
