Heavenly Banana Walnut Cream Cake

Ingredients:

- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips

- 2 cups all-purpose flour

- 1 teaspoon baking soda

- 1/2 teaspoon salt

- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

- 2 large eggs

- 1 cup granulated sugar

- 3 ripe bananas, mashed

- 1/4 cup whole or halved walnuts (for garnish)

- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts

- 1/2 cup sour cream

- 1 banana, sliced (for garnish)

- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

- 2 cups creamy custard (for filling and topping)

Instructions:

1. Prepare Cake Pans: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 8-inch round cake pans.

2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

3. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.

4. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.

5. Incorporate Bananas and Sour Cream: Mix in the sour cream and mashed bananas until well combined.

6. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Gently fold in the chopped walnuts and white chocolate chips.

7. Divide Batter: Pour the batter evenly into the prepared cake pans.

8. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

9. Cool Cakes: Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then turn them out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

10. Assemble Cake: Once cooled, spread half of the creamy custard over the top of one layer. Place the second layer on top and spread the remaining custard over the top.

11. Garnish: Decorate with banana slices and whole or halved walnuts. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to enjoy.
