1. Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 13- by 9-inch
baking pan. Sift together the flour, baking soda and
salt; set aside. 2. Beat butter and granulated sugar
in large bowl of electric mixer on high speed until
light, 2 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing well
after each addition. Stop the mixer and add bananas,
sour cream and vanilla. Mix in on low speed. Fold in
the dry ingredients and nuts with a rubber spatula.
3. Transfer batter to prepared pan. Bake until a
toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean,
about 35 minutes. Cool completely on wire rack.
4. For caramel glaze, combine brown sugar and
condensed milk in a small saucepan. Cook over medium
heat, stirring often, until mixture begins to bubble.
Reduce heat to low and add butter; cook and stir until
melted. Remove from the heat and stir in
confectioners' sugar and vanilla. Spread over cooled
cake. 5. For frosting, beat cream cheese and butter
until smooth. Stir in sour cream, maple and vanilla.
Add enough confectioners' sugar to make a smooth,
thick frosting. Carefully spread over caramel glaze.
