    List of Ingredients




    Cake:
    2 cups all-purpose flour
    1 teaspoon baking soda
    Pinch salt
    1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
    1 cup granulated sugar
    2 large eggs
    1 cup mashed, ripe banana (about 3 bananas)
    1/4 cup sour cream
    1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
    1/2 cup chopped pecans

    Caramel glaze:
    1/4 cup each: packed brown sugar, sweetened condensed milk
    2 tablespoons unsalted butter
    1 cup confectioners' sugar
    1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

    Frosting:
    1 small package (3 ounces) cream cheese, softened
    6 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
    1 tablespoon each: sour cream, pure maple syrup
    1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
    3 to 3 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar

    Recipe



    1. Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 13- by 9-inch baking pan. Sift
    together the flour, baking soda and salt; set aside.

    2. Beat butter and granulated sugar in large bowl of electric mixer on high
    speed until light, 2 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing well after
    each addition. Stop the mixer and add bananas, sour cream and vanilla. Mix
    in on low speed. Fold in the dry ingredients and nuts with a rubber
    spatula.

    3. Transfer batter to prepared pan. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the
    center comes out clean, about 35 minutes. Cool completely on wire rack.

    4. For caramel glaze, combine brown sugar and condensed milk in a small
    saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring often, until mixture begins to
    bubble. Reduce heat to low and add butter; cook and stir until melted.
    Remove from the heat and stir in confectioners' sugar and vanilla. Spread
    over cooled cake.

    5. For frosting, beat cream cheese and butter until smooth. Stir in sour
    cream, maple and vanilla. Add enough confectioners' sugar to make a smooth,
    thick frosting. Carefully spread over caramel glaze.
