3 cups powdered sugar (for frosting)

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13 inch baking pan with butter or non-stick spray.
Step 2: In a large bowl, cream together the 1/2 cup softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Step 3: Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined, then stir in the mashed bananas and sour cream.
Step 4: Sift together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon in a separate bowl.
Step 5: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the banana mixture, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.
Step 6: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Step 7: Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan before frosting.
Step 8: For the frosting, beat the cream cheese and butter until smooth. Add powdered sugar and vanilla, whipping until fluffy.
Step 9: Spread the cream cheese frosting evenly over the cooled cake and serve.
