Steps:
- 1. Cake: Preheat over to 350 degrees.
- 2. Cream butter and sugar. Add eggs and mix well. Add milk and mix well. Add flour and baking powder; mix well. Finally, add Mexican vanilla and mix well.
- 3. Grease & flour two 9 inch round cake pans. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes. Cool on wire racks.
- 4. Syrup: While cake is baking, combine sugar and water in a medium saucepan. Heat until syrup-y, then add lemon; allow to cool.
- 5. Place one cake on a cake platter and prick holes in it with a fork. Place half of the sliced bananas on 1st layer & pour 1/2 of syrup over the bananas and cake. Place 2nd cake layer on top of the 1st. Prick holes, layer bananas, then use the last of the syrup.
- 6. Keep in the refrigerator... as it will last longer and stay moist. Remember, this recipe is over a 100 years old. Makes me wonder how they kept it fresh back then!
