Notes

  • If you’re out of sour cream, Greek yogurt works just as well.
  • Freeze your brown bananas in their peel. Let ’em thaw on the counter when ready to bake.
  • Want mini cakes? Use mini bundt pans and adjust bake time to 18-22 minutes.
  • Store covered in the fridge, but let it come to room temp before serving.
  • This cake actually gets better the next day. Trust me on that.
