Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and flour two 8-inch round cake pans.
- Whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon in a large mixing bowl.
- Beat together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, followed by vanilla extract, mashed bananas, and sour cream.
- Gradually incorporate the dry mixture into the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.
- Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans and bake for 28-32 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
- Prepare the frosting by beating together cream cheese and unsalted butter until smooth, then gradually adding powdered sugar and heavy cream.
- Once cooled, place one cake layer on a plate, spreading frosting on top, then add the second layer and frost the top and sides.
- Garnish with extra toasted walnuts, chill before serving.

Notes
Use ripe bananas for the best flavor and moisture; toast walnuts for enhanced flavor. Store in an airtight container.
