Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Butter and flour a 13-inch x 9-inch baking pan.
- In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, and cloves. Set aside.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the beater blade attachment or in a large bowl using an electric mixer, beat together the butter and sugar on medium speed until pale and fluffy, about 1 - 2 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time and mix until well incorporated. Mix in the sour cream and the bananas.
- Pour in the flour mixture, a little bit at a time, beating continuously until well-incorporated.
- Spread batter into the prepared pan.
- Bake for about 25 minutes, or until the top of the cake is golden and a toothpick or tester inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove the cake from the oven and place on a wire rack to cool completely.
- To make the frosting, fit a stand mixer with the beater attachment or use a large bowl and an electric hand mixer. On medium speed, beat together the cream cheese and butter until smooth. Turn the mixer to low and gradually add the powdered sugar. Once all the powdered sugar has been added, increase the speed to medium and beat for another 30 seconds. Add the vanilla and pinch salt; beat for another minute or so until smooth. Add a little milk (a couple of teaspoons at a time) if the frosting seems too stiff to spread.
- Spread frosting onto completely cooled cake. Cut into 12 pieces and serve. Cover and store leftover cake in the refrigerator; it keeps well (and keeps getting better) for 3 - 4 days.

Steps:
- Preheat over to 350. Whisk egg and brown sugar together until smooth. Add vanilla and bananas, mixing until combined. Add flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Mix. Add in melted butter. Bake 20 minutes.
Tips:
- Use ripe bananas: Ripeness brings out sweetness, flavor, and moisture.
- Cream butter, sugars, and vanilla: Creaming incorporates air for a light texture.
- Add eggs one at a time: Each egg fully incorporated before adding the next.
- Mix dry ingredients separately: Ensures even distribution throughout batter.
- Alternately add dry ingredients and buttermilk: Moisturizes and adds flavor without overworking the batter.
- Mash bananas separately: Prevents large chunks that can weigh down the cake.
- Fold in mashed bananas: Gently combine to maintain airiness.
- Do not overmix: Overmixing develops gluten, resulting in a tough cake.
- Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean: Prevents under- or overbaking.
- Let cake cool completely before frosting: Provides a stable base and prevents frosting from melting.
