Luscious Banana Pecan Cake

Ingredients:

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

3/4 cup granulated sugar

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

4 ripe bananas, mashed

1/2 cup sour cream

1 cup chopped pecans

1/2 cup heavy cream

1 cup powdered sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Sliced bananas and additional chopped pecans for topping

Directions:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8-inch square baking pan.

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

In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.

Mix in the mashed bananas and sour cream until well combined.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Fold in the chopped pecans.

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly.

Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

While the cake is baking, prepare the vanilla glaze by whisking together the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Drizzle the vanilla glaze over the cooled cake. Top with sliced bananas and additional chopped pecans before serving.
