FOR THE CAKE:
2 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter, Softened
1 cup Granulated Sugar
1 Large Egg
1 Tablespoon Pure Vanilla Extract
1/2 cups Sour Cream
3/4 cups Mashed Ripe Bananas
1 cup All-purpose Flour
1/2 teaspoons Baking Soda
1/4 teaspoons Salt
FOR THE BUTTERCREAM:
3 Large Egg Whites

1/4 cups Bailey's Irish Cream Liqueur
1 Tablespoon Pure Vanilla Extract

1
For the cake:
2
Preheat oven to 350u00b0F and grease an 8 x 8-inch square baking pan.
3
Cream butter and sugar together in large mixing bowl. Add egg and vanilla and mix well. Stir in sour cream and mashed bananas until completely incorporated. Add flour, baking soda and salt and mix until just incorporated.
4
Pour batter into prepared baking pan. Bake at 350u00b0F for 30-35 minutes, testing for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of the cake. The cake is done when the top is golden and toothpick comes out clean. Allow cake to cool completely and then remove from the pan.
5
For the frosting:
6
Separate egg whites one at a time by cracking each egg into a small bowl, to ensure that no yolks get into the egg whites and then place the egg whites into a larger bowl. Add sugar to egg whites.
7
Meanwhile, fill a pot with a small amount of water and allow it to come to a simmer over medium heat. Create a double boiler by placing the large bowl of egg whites and sugar over the pot of simmering water. Make sure that the bottom of the bowl is not touching the water. Whisk egg whites and sugar vigorously until sugar is completely dissolved, approximately 10-15 minutes.
8
Remove egg whites and sugar from heat and pour into a stand mixer. You could also use a handheld electric beater. Beat egg whites and sugar on medium speed for about 5 minutes until mixture is smooth and glossy. Continue beating until bowl and mixture are at room temperature.
9
Add butter one small cube at a time and beat until completely incorporated. Continue beating the frosting until it is consistent and fluffy in texture. Add Bailey's Irish Cream and vanilla and beat until smooth.
10
Spread frosting evenly over cooled banana cake. Decorate with pecan pieces if desired.Cake may be kept in the fridge for 2-3 days.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
Leave out the nuts to make it nut-free, or swap in seeds for a similar crunch.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
Coconut cream is a reliable plant-based alternative to dairy cream.
