By Dolphl1970

Ingredients

• Walnut Praline
• 1/4 cup unsalted Land O'Lakes butter
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
• Melt butter and brown sugar in a sauce pan stirring until smooth and blended. Add walnuts, remove from heat and let cool.
• Cake
• 3 cups White Lily all purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 sticks unsalted Land O'Lakes butter
• 1 1/3 cup sugar
• 2/3 cup brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons vanilla
• 1 teaspoon maple extract
• 2 large eggs
• 4 ripe bananas, mashed
• 1 cup light sour cream

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350. Grease and flour a large bundt pan. Blend dry ingredients together in a bowl and set aside.

Using the paddle attachment on an electric mixer beat butter until creamy. Add the sugars and beat until fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time beating a minute or so between each. Scrape down sides, add the vanilla and maple extracts and stir together. Reduce speed to lowest setting and beat in the bananas. Add half of the dry ingredients, then the sour cream and blend well. Add remaining flour.

Pour about 3/4's of the batter into the bundt pan, top with praline mixture, and using a knife, swirl mixture gently into the batter. Top with remaining batter, and bake for about 1 hour or until a pick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool in the pan for ten minutes in the pan, turn the pan out onto a plate and allow to cool completely.
