  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For garnish:

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch bundt pan or tube pan.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, until well combined. Stir in the vanilla extract and mashed bananas.
  4. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the sour cream, and mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan and spread it out evenly with a spatula.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
  8. Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. While the cake is cooling, prepare the banana pudding frosting. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the instant vanilla pudding mix and cold milk until thickened.
  10. In a separate bowl, beat the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the pudding mixture until smooth and creamy.
  11. Once the cake has cooled completely, spread the banana pudding frosting over the top of the cake.
