BLUE RIBBON BANANA CAKE
This won 1st place in the cakes division at the Mayfest festival. I've made it a couple of times and it is soooo good!! If you let the cake set with the frosting on it for a little while the frosting gets hard and crunchy, i love it that way!!

Tips:
- For a moist and flavorful cake, use ripe bananas. The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful the cake will be.
- Creaming the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy is essential for a tender and airy cake.
- Be sure to measure your flour correctly. Too much flour will make the cake dry and dense.
- Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough and dense cake.
- Bake the cake in a preheated oven. This will help to ensure that the cake bakes evenly.
- Check the cake for doneness by inserting a toothpick or skewer into the center of the cake. If the toothpick comes out clean, the cake is done.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
- If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice to a cup of milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
- This cake can be stored at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
