# Ingredients You’ll Need:

→ Bread Mixture

01 - 1 teaspoon baking soda
02 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
03 - 3/4 cup white sugar
04 - 2 large eggs
05 - 1/4 cup sour cream
06 - 4 ripe bananas, mashed (around 1 1/2 cups)
07 - 2 cups regular flour
08 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

→ Cheesecake Layer

11 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
12 - 1/4 cup white sugar
13 - 8 ounces of softened cream cheese

# Steps to Make It:

01 - Set your oven to 350°F. Either grease a 9×5 inch pan or line it with parchment paper for easier removal.
02 - In a medium bowl, mix together the salt, soda, and flour, then put aside for later.
03 - Beat the butter and sugar together until light and creamy (takes a few minutes). Add eggs one by one. Stir in vanilla, mashed bananas, and sour cream. Then gently fold in your dry mix till it's just combined.
04 - Use a mixer to blend the cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add the egg and vanilla. Keep mixing until it's silky.

# Extra Information:

01 - This soft loaf mixes banana bread and creamy cheesecake in the middle.
02 - Stir gently! Overmixing can ruin the texture.
03 - Riper bananas bring out the sweetest taste here.
