¼ cup whole milk (room temperature)

Add vanilla and 2 cups of powdered sugar and beat (starting on low speed and increasing to medium-high) until smooth.

Assemble, Chill &amp; Serve

Great recipe. Made it last night and it was a hit. The only thing I did differently was sift the flour. Very delicious and moist. Best banana cake I’ve had.

It takes about 15 minutes to make your own buttermilk from a glass of milk with a little bit of vinegar

I was dubious this would be better than the recipe I usually use but it really was. The consistency was a little more watery than I was used to but it worked.  So moist and utterly delicious. I didn’t have sour cream so used a dollop of double cream, still worked.

This is the best banana bread I've ever made! So light and moist, not too sweet. I used Greek yoghurt instead of sour cream and only used one cup of sugar in the frosting. Thank you so much for sharing, it's definitely a keeper.

This truly is a great banana cake. For me, it has just the right amount of sweetness. It’s very moist and again for me I don’t even need any frosting on it. This is a keeper. My new favorite!

I made this cake using 2% milk and low fat sour cream and it came out perfectly! I also used light cream cheese for the frosting. Family loved the cake. I’ll be making it again and again!! Thank you for a wonderful recipe!

Well……I had 6 bananas in my cake., extra flour, egg &amp; tad bit sugar. 
Awesome!!!
BEST BANANA CAKE INDEED!! 
Thanks! 
I shared my cake with family &amp; friends!! Everyone says, this recipe is A KEEPER!! 
Thanks you so much!!

I’m going to make your banana cake recipe! Have you ever tried doubling up on the bananas? 
I’m going to try it! 
2-3 extra bananas, increase sour cream &amp; flour to 1/2 c, maybe 1 extra egg?
I’ll let you know how it turns out!

I love this recipe! It’s very easy to make and the cake is not very sweet. I fold in chocolate chips and walnuts and it’s a hit!

Made itthrough with marg as was out of butter it was just as tasty!

Excellent - I brought this to a potluck and everyone loved it! I did use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream and 3/4 of Vermont maple syrup instead of sugar. I would highly recommend this recipe.

So I made this recipe today, using a bunch of your substitutions and a few more and it was great!  I used half monk fruit and half Truvia brown sugar as the sugar substitutes, I subbed Siggi’s plain Greek yogurt for the sour cream and extra fine almond flour for half the all purpose flour. I am a diabetic who loves to bake and eat cake, so I am always trying to find ways to reduce the carbs/sugar and increase the Protien. Oh and I added a scoop of protein powder as well.  It was very moist and delicious!  Thanks for all the info about substitutions. It gave me the courage to make some changes 🥰 (oh and no frosting 😘)
