1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup packed light brown sugar

1/2 teaspoon vanilla

1/2 stick (1/4 cup) unsalted butter, softened
1 tablespoon light or golden rum
1/4 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup confectioners' sugar
Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 350°F.
Lightly butter and flour a 9-inch round cake pan, knocking out excess flour.
Whisk together flour (1 1/2 cups), baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a small bowl.
Beat together butter (1 stick) and brown sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer at high speed until pale and fluffy. Beat in egg until combined, then add bananas, sour cream, and vanilla and beat until combined well. Reduce speed to low and add flour mixture, mixing until just incorporated.
