To make cake (easily mixed by hand):
Preheat the oven to 375F (see note below). Cream together sugar, sour cream, egg, and 2 tablespoons softened butter.
Add mashed bananas and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Add flour, salt, and baking soda; mix well. Pour into greased pan.
Bake at 375F for 20-25 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool completely before frosting.
To make frosting:
Cream butter and confectioner's sugar together until smooth. Slowly add the heavy cream; stir until smooth. Stir in the vanilla bean paste until fully incorporated. Spread on cooled cake.
Note - Bake at 350F if using a glass pan. Recipe doubles well (9x13 pan).
