Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup Butter unsalted, softened
  • 1 cup Sugar
  • 1 Egg whole
  • 1 container Applesauce lunch pack (see notes)
  • 3 Ripened Bananas mashed
  • 1/2 cup Sour Cream
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 1 1/2 cup All Purpose Flour
  • 1 tsp Baking Soda
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans optional

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a loaf pan and set aside.
  2. Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add egg and applesauce; beat to incorporate. Add bananas, sour cream, and vanilla.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix flour, baking soda, and salt. Stir into the butter mixture and mix until just combined. 
  4. Stir in nuts if desired.
  5. Pour into prepared pan, and sprinkle the top with a 1/4 tsp of sugar.
  6. Bake until a cake tester inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, about 1 hour, or up to 70 minutes. Let rest in pan for 10 minutes then turn out onto a rack to cool.

Notes

I substituted the applesauce in place of one of the eggs. 
If you don't have applesauce, use 2 eggs.
