BANANA-SOUR CREAM CAKE WITH CREAM CHEESE FROSTING

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Grease and flour 13 x 9-inch baking pan; set aside.
• Beat cake mix, eggs, bananas, sour cream and oil in a large bowl with electric mixer on low speed just until moistened, stopping frequently to scrape bottom and side of bowl.
• Beat on medium speed for 2 minutes.
• Pour batter into prepared pan.
• Bake for 35 minutes or until wooden toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
• Cool completely in pan on wire rack.
• Beat cream cheese and butter in large bowl with electric mixer on medium speed until well blended.
• Gradually add powdered sugar, beating after each addition until well blended.
• Remove cake from pan, cut crosswise in half.
• Place one cake half, top-side down, on large serving plate.
• spread top with frosting.
• Top with remaining cake half, top-side up.
• Frost top and sides of cake with remaining frosting.
• Carefully press walnuts into frosting on side of cake.
• Store any leftovers in refrigerator.
• Tip: Neatly frost this cake by freezing cake layers about 20 minutes before frosting.
• This helps to set the crumbs on the cut edges of the cake layers so they don't pull up into the frosting.
• Don't worry if the frosting doesn't look perfect on the sides of the cake; the walnuts will cover any imperfections.
