Recipe:
Ingredients:
* 3 large ripe bananas, mashed
* 1 1/2 cups (190g) all-purpose flour
* 1 tsp baking powder
* 1/2 tsp baking soda
* 1/2 tsp salt
* 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened
* 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
* 2 large eggs, room temperature
* 1 cup (240ml) sour cream
* 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
* 1/2 cup (60g) chopped walnuts (optional)
* Confectioners' sugar, for dusting (optional)
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch (23x13cm) loaf pan and set it aside.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
3. In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the mashed bananas and vanilla extract.
5. With the mixer on low speed, gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
6. Stir in the sour cream and chopped walnuts (if using).
7. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
8. Bake for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
9. Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
10. Transfer the cake to a wire rack to cool completely.

Tips:
* Use ripe bananas for the best flavor and texture.
* Don't overmix the batter, as it can lead to a dense cake.
