Tried and True Moms

Cake:

1 1/2 c. sugar

1 c. sour cream

1/2 c. soft butter

2 eggs

 1 3/4 c. ripe bananas

2 t. vanilla

2 c. flour

1 t. baking soda 

3/4 t. salt 

Frosting:

1 c. butter, browned

6-8 c. powdered sugar

6 T. milk

1 T. vanilla

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Cream together sugar, sour cream and soft butter until light and fluffy.  Add eggs, banana and vanilla and mix well.  Add remaining dry ingredients and combine for 1 minute.  Bake for 28 minutes in a half sheet jelly roll pan, sprayed with non stick spray.  For frosting, heat butter over medium low heat, stirring often, until foamy.  Continue to stir until butter turns a deep golden brown color with brown specks and smells nutty and rich (about 5 minutes).  Mix butter with remaining ingredients and pour over slightly cooled, but still warm, banana bread bars.
