- ½ cup unsalted butter (softened)
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 4 ripe bananas (mashed, about 1½ cups)
- ¼ cup sour cream
- 8 oz cream cheese (softened)
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg (for filling)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (for filling)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9×5" loaf pan.
- Whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl.
- Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
- Add eggs one at a time, mixing well, then stir in vanilla extract.
- Fold in mashed bananas and sour cream gently.
- Gradually stir in the dry mixture until just combined.

Notes
Use overly ripe bananas for maximum sweetness.
Cover the top with aluminum foil if it browns too quickly.
Cool in the pan to maintain shape before transferring.
