  • add eggs, one at a time. beat well then add vanilla
  • mix in bananas
  • combine flour, baking powder, soda and salt in a little bowl
  • alternate adding flour mixture and sour cream to banana mixture, stir until just combined
  • add walnuts
  • pour into a greased and floured fluted tube pan. add blueberries to the top (they should sink to the bottom but mine didn't...)
