    Prep Time:       Cook Time:       Total Time:  

2/3 cup sugar
1/2 cup sour cream
1 egg
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup mashed super ripe banana (about 2)
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 cup flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda

Frosting:
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
1/4 cup heavy cream
1/2 teaspoon vanilla bean paste* (see below)
1 1/4 cups powdered sugar

To make cake (is easily mixed by hand):
1.Preheat the oven to 375F (see note below).
2.Cream together sugar, sour cream, egg, and 2 tablespoons softened butter.
3.Add mashed bananas and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
4.Add flour, salt, and baking soda; mix well.
5.Pour into greased 8x8-inch pan.
6.Bake at 375F for 20-25 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
7.Cool completely before frosting.

To make frosting:
1.Cream butter and powdered sugar together until smooth.
2.Slowly add the heavy cream; stir until smooth.
3.Stir in the vanilla bean paste until fully incorporated.
4.Spread on cooled cake.

Notes
Bake at 350F if using a glass pan. Recipe doubles well to fit in a 9x13-inch pan.
Here is the general rule for substituting vanilla: 1 vanilla bean = 1 tablespoon vanilla powder = 1 tablespoon vanilla bean paste = 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract.
