Instructions
Prep the Pans
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 8-inch round cake pans.
Mix Dry Ingredients
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
Cream the Butter & Sugar
In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Combine Wet Ingredients
Mix in the sour cream and mashed bananas until the mixture is smooth.
Unite Dry & Wet
Slowly add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients. Stir until just combined. Fold in the chopped walnuts and white chocolate chips.
Divide & Conquer
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared cake pans.
Bake to Perfection
Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool Down
Let the cakes cool in their pans for 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Layer with Love
On one cake layer, spread half of the creamy custard. Place the second layer on top and spread the remaining custard over it.
Garnish & Serve
Adorn the cake with banana slices and walnuts. Serve immediately or chill until ready to serve.

Ensure bananas are very ripe for optimal sweetness and flavor in the cake.
