Ready In
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch pan. Sift together the flour, baking powder and baking soda. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream the margarine and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla and mashed bananas. Beat in the flour mixture alternately with the sour cream, mixing just until incorporated. Pour batter into prepared pan and sprinkle with topping.
- To make topping: in a small bowl, mix together chocolate chips, chopped peanuts and brown sugar.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Allow to cool.

I made this cake but did not put the icing on it and I froze it for a month before I used it. The cake was moist and received rave reviews by my guest. You could not tell it had been frozen.

This was THE best cake!! I think that the best way to eat this cake is after it has sat without being touched (only frosted) for a day or two. Then it is the very best moist cake in the world!...

This should be called "The Best Ever Banana Cake". It is the best Banana cake on this site! Others masquerade as banana bread, but this is a light airy cake, perfect texture! Great if you have a...
