nonstick vegetable oil spray |
3 cups all-purpose flour |
2 teaspoons baking soda |
2 teaspoons kosher salt |
1 1/2 cups sugar |
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature |
1/2 cup (packed) light brown sugar |
3 large eggs |
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract |
2 cups mashed very ripe bananas |
1 cup sour cream |
1 10-ounce bag mini chocolate chips |
2 cups creamy peanut butter |

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature |
2 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract |

Directions:
1. For cake: Preheat oven to 350°F. Coat cake pans with nonstick spray. Line bottom of pans with parchment; coat paper. Whisk flour, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl. Using an electric mixer, beat sugar, butter, and brown sugar in a large bowl until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add eggs one at a time, beating to blend between additions and occasionally scraping down sides and bottom of bowl. Beat in vanilla.
2. Add dry ingredients; beat on low speed just to blend. Add bananas and sour cream; beat just to blend. Fold in mini chips. Divide batter evenly among pans; smooth tops.
3. Bake cakes until a tester inserted into the center comes out clean, about 35 minutes. Transfer to wire racks; let cool in pans for 10 minutes. Invert cakes onto racks; peel off parchment and let cool completely.
4. For frosting: Using an electric mixer, beat first 4 ingredients in a medium bowl until a light and fluffy frosting forms, 23 minutes.
5. Place 1 cake on a platter. Spread 1 1/4 cups frosting over. Place remaining cake on top. Cover top and sides of cake with remaining frosting. Garnish with chocolate chips and kisses. DO AHEAD: Cake can be made 2 days ahead. Cover and chill. Let stand at room temperature for 1 hour before serving.
