Whisk flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, & salt together in a lrg bowl, then, mix in cocoa mixture. Whisk in bananas & sour cream, then eggs & vanilla. Stir in walnuts.
Scrape batter into prepared pan & bake until tester inserted in center of cake comes out clean, abt 45 mins.
Transfer cake to cooling rack & cool 10 mins, then invert directly onto rack & cool to room temp, abt 1 hr. Sprinkle w/ confectioner's sugar & serve.
Note (not from Serious Eats): I would recommend letting the cake cool for more than 10 mins before inverting b/c mine fell apart somewhat after waiting only 10 mins.
