To make this delectable cake, start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and greasing and flouring two 8-inch round cake pans. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt, setting it aside for later use.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, and then stir in the vanilla extract. Mix in the sour cream and mashed bananas until everything is well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Gently fold in the chopped walnuts and white chocolate chips. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans and bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for about 10 minutes, then turn them out onto a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, spread half of the creamy custard over the top of one layer, place the second layer on top, and spread the remaining custard over the entire cake.
Garnish with banana slices and whole or halved walnuts before serving. You can enjoy this cake immediately or refrigerate it until you’re ready to share this heavenly treat with others.
