Banana Sour Cream Bundt Cake


I found the BEST recipe online for this cake, and used up my 4 overripe bananas this morning. The cake is soooo good, not heavy, VERY moist and so good. Here is the recipe:
3 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 sticks (8 ounces) unsalted butter, at room temperature
2 cups sugar
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
2 large eggs, preferably at room temperature
About 4 very ripe bananas, mashed (you should have 1 1/2 – 1 3/4 cups)
1 cup sour cream
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Generously butter a 9- to 10-inch (12 cup) Bundt pan.
In a large bowl, mix the flour, baking soda and salt together.
Working with a stand mixer( I used a hand mixer with regular beaters) fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the butter until creamy. Add the sugar and beat at medium speed until pale and fluffy. Beat in the vanilla, then add the eggs one at a time, beating for about 1 minute after each egg goes in. Reduce the mixer speed to low, and mix in the bananas.
Mix in half the dry ingredients (don’t be disturbed when the batter curdles), all the sour cream and then the rest of the flour mixture. Scrape the batter into the pan, rap the pan on the counter to debubble the batter and smooth the top.
Bake for 65 to 75 minutes, or until a thin knife inserted deep into the center of the cake comes out clean. Check the cake after about 30 minutes – if it is browning too quickly, cover it loosely with a foil tent. Transfer the cake to a rack and cool for 10 minutes before unmolding onto the rack to cool to room temperature.
Enjoy. I am having a piece for dessert with whipped cream and some coffee.
