Berry Banana Sour Cream Cake

Sour Cream Banana Berry Cake

Kent Hadley
This cake has it all and best of all will be the compliments coming your way when your family and guests bite into their first slice. I originally clipped the recipe from a major market cream cheese box, then I added to and played around with the recipe to create this great cake. The recipe also features store-bought ingredients so it is quick and easy to put together. Check out the options to the recipe at the bottom. These are just a few of the ways I have altered this recipe.

1 Pkg of any yellow cake mix

3 large eggs

3 ripe but not overripe bananas

1 cup of sour cream

1/4 cup oil

1pkg cream cheese softened

1 stick of unsalted butter softened

1 cup frozen mixed berries, defrosted

4 cups powdered sugar

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

Mix eggs, sour cream, bananas, and oil with the cake mix and beat on medium speed for about two minutes.

Pour mixture into two 9" round greased and floured cake pans and bake for about 35 minutes or until testing stick comes out clean. Cool cakes on a wire rack in the pans.

Frosting

To soften cream cheese and butter place both together on microwave safe plate and put in the microwave on high for 25 seconds. (more or less depending on your microwave.)

Strain berries and put into a mixing bowl. Add butter and cream cheese and begin to beat on medium. Slowly add the powder sugar using a rubber spatula to cut the mixture down from the sides. Scrape bottom of the bowl to ensure all berries get mixed.

Frost the top of one layer and place the second layer on top. Frost the top of the second layer then continue to frost down the sides.

Options

Use chocolate cake mix and add ½ cup chocolate chips, melted in place of the berries. Second option is adding the berries last reserving enough frosting to frost the top of the first layer.

Third option is to use fresh or frozen berries for a filling between the layers.

You can also cover the sides and/or top with nuts or just go nuts thinking of ways to improve on this easy to make great cake.

Keep cake refrigerated with all the butter and cream cheese in the frosting it will spoil.
