Prepare the Banana Pecan Cake Layers:
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line two 9-inch round cake pans.
In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy.
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Mix in the mashed bananas and sour cream until smooth.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Fold in the chopped pecans.
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans and smooth the tops.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Make the Cream Cheese Filling:
In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and butter together until smooth and creamy.
Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.
