1/2 lb. butter
1 c. sugar
2 eggs
1+ c. mashed ripe bananas
1 3/4 c. flour
1/2 tsp. salt
2/3 tsp. baking soda
5 tblsp. buttermilk
1 tsp. vanilla
Cream Cheese Frosting
8 oz. cream cheese
6 tblsp. sweet butter
3 c. confectioner's sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
1 1/2—2 medium firm bananas (sliced)
1 1/2 c. chopped walnuts
Preheat oven to 350º. Grease and flour two 9" layer cake pans.
Cream the butter and sugar until light & fluffy. Add the eggs
one at a time, beating well after each. Add the mashed bananas and
mix thoroughly.
Sift the dry ingredients, then add to the butter/egg mixture. Stir
well until flour is incorporated. Add the buttermilk and vanilla,
and mix 1 minute
Pour batter into prepared cake pans, and bake 25-30 minutes until
a toothpick comes out clean. (Note: You have to insert the
toothpick yourself. Don't just hang around waiting for one to come
out.) Cool cake in the pans on a rack for 10 minutes, then unmold
and cool on a rack for 2 hours.
To assemble: put the filling of your choice between the layers. If
you use the cream cheese frosting above—mix all ingredients but
banaas and nuts, spread between the layers, and then arrange the
slices and sprinkle nuts.
You can either top the cake with more frosting, or dust with
confectioner's sugar.
