# Step-by-Step Instructions:
01 -
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Thoroughly grease a loaf pan.

In a stand mixer bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
05 -
Add the eggs and sour cream to the creamed mixture, beating until fully combined and smooth.
06 -
In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda until evenly mixed.
07 -
Add the strawberry and banana mixture to the stand mixer bowl and mix on low speed. Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture while continuing to mix on low until just incorporated. Avoid overmixing to maintain a tender crumb.

Use fully ripe bananas for maximum flavor and moisture. Adjust baking duration to suit the loaf pan size to prevent under- or over-baking.
