                  I baked these Banana Bars but baked 2-8 inch layers and it was very good and moist.This recipe is from Taste of Home:Debbie Knight,Marion,Iowa.
                  Banana Bars with Cream Cheese Frosting Recipe

                  TOTAL TIME: Prep: 15 min. Bake: 20 min. + cooling MAKES: 36-48 servings
                  Ingredients
                  1/2 cup butter, softened
                  1-1/2 cups sugar
                  2 large eggs
                  1 cup (8 ounces) sour cream
                  1 teaspoon vanilla extract
                  2 cups all-purpose flour
                  1 teaspoon baking soda
                  1/4 teaspoon salt
                  2 medium ripe bananas, mashed (about 1 cup)
                  FROSTING:
                  1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
                  1/2 cup butter, softened
                  2 teaspoons vanilla extract
                  3-3/4 to 4 cups confectioners' sugar

                  Directions
                  Preheat oven to 350°/ In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, sour cream and vanilla. Combine flour, baking soda and salt; gradually add to creamed mixture. Stir in bananas.
                  Spread into a greased 15x10x1-in. baking pan. Bake 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean (do not overbake). Cool.
                  For frosting, in a large bowl, beat cream cheese, butter and vanilla until fluffy. Gradually beat in enough confectioners' sugar to achieve desired consistency. Frost bars. Store in the refrigerator. Yield: 3-4 dozen.

                  I had to bake these longer like 35 minutes at 350* since mine were in cake pans.This cake was so moist.
