Ingredients

Topping:
⅔ cup packed brown sugar
4 ½ tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
3 medium bananas, sliced 1/4-inch thick
Cake:
1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 pinch salt
¾ cup white sugar
⅓ cup unsalted butter, softened
2 large eggs
1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
2 medium overripe bananas, mashed
⅓ cup sour cream

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 8-inch square cake pan.
Prepare topping: Spread brown sugar on the bottom of the prepared pan and scatter butter pieces on top.
Place the pan in the preheated oven until butter has melted, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from the oven and stir and spread mixture evenly on the bottom of the pan. Arrange sliced bananas to cover the bottom. Set aside.
Prepare cake: Stir flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt together in a mixing bowl, set aside.
Cream white sugar and softened butter together in a large bowl. Mix in eggs and vanilla until combined. Add mashed bananas and sour cream; mix to combine. Add dry ingredients on low speed and mix just until combined. Pour batter over banana slices in the pan and smooth the top.
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out completely clean, 30 to 35 minutes. Let cool in the pan completely, about 30 minutes, before inverting and slicing.
