Banana snack cake

I just love a quick and easy treat for my family. This cake takes little time to make and will disappear before your eyes.  A nice after school treat or a weekend snack. 

2/3 c. Sugar
1/2 c. Sour cream
(Or plain yogurt)
2 TBSP butter , softened
2 overripe bananas, mashed
1 tsp vanilla
1 c. Flour
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking powder


Preheat oven to 350. Grease a 8x8 glass baking pan.  Cream together sugar, sour cream, butter and banana. Mix in the vanilla. In a small bowl combine the salt, baking powder and flour. Ass flour mixture to the wet ingredients and mix until combined.  Pour into the prepared pan. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.  Cool on baking rack. 

This cake is awesome as is, but here is a frosting to put it over the top.

2 tsp butter, softened
1/4 c. Heavy cream
1 TBSP vanilla
1  1/4 c. Confectioner's sugar

Beat butter and sugar together, and add vanilla. Add the heavy cream slowly, then mix until fluffy. Spread on cooled cake.

I love my banana cake to be stored in the fridge. It stays fresh and the frosting gets a little firm.
