  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup light brown sugar
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp salt

  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3 cups confectioner's sugar
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream or milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F. Prepare two 9-inch nonstick cake pans by spraying them and lining the bottoms with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, cream together mashed bananas and sugars until smooth. Add vegetable oil, eggs, sour cream, and vanilla extract; mix well.
  3. Gradually incorporate baking soda and salt into the mixture. Slowly add flour one cup at a time, then fold in ground hazelnuts.
  4. Divide the batter between the prepared pans and bake for 40–45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  5. Allow cakes to cool in pans for about 10 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack.
  6. For frosting, beat together butter, Nutella, sour cream, vanilla extract, confectioner's sugar, cocoa powder, and heavy cream until smooth.
  7. Once cooled completely, frost the cakes generously with Nutella frosting.
