We have a tradition at our house of enjoying a "first day of school" cake every year. Just when I think my kids have forgotten about it (or don't care) I start getting asked what kind of cake it will be this year. I love it!
The sour cream in this recipe makes the cake so moist, and the icing just takes it over the top. This was like banana bread supreme!
The bonus for me was that I actually made a cake from scratch that didn't bubble over in my oven. Really, this is an accomplishment for me.
