Preparation Method Steps:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch Bundt pan.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt.
3. In a separate bowl, beat together the yogurt, sour cream, oil, eggs, and mashed bananas.
4. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
5. Pour the batter into the prepared Bundt pan and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
6. While the cake is baking, prepare the cream filling. In a medium bowl, beat the heavy cream, sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. Fold in the sliced bananas.
