Number Of Ingredients 18

BANANA CAKE
3 c sifted cake flour
1 Tbsp baking powder
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
3/4 tsp salt
3/4 c shortening
2 1/4 c granulated sugar
3 eggs, well beaten
1 1/2 c mashed ripe bananas (about 4 bananas)
1 1/8 c buttermilk
1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
BUTTERCREAM FROSTING
3/4 c hot milk
1/2 c butter
1/2 c shortening (butter flavored crisco not recommended)
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 Tbsp cornstarch
1 c granulated sugar

Steps:

  • 1. BANANA CAKE: Sift the flour, baking powder, soda, and salt together in a bowl and set aside.
  • 2. Cream the shortening; gradually add sugar and continue creaming. Add beaten eggs and bananas and mix well.
  • 3. Add the flour mixture alternately with the combined buttermilk and vanilla, beginning and ending with the flour.
  • 4. Pour into two 9 inch layer pans that have been greased and floured. Bake at 375 for 25 to 30 minutes.
  • 5. BUTTERCREAM FROSTING: Heat milk until very hot but not boiling.
  • 6. Cream the butter and shortening until fluffy. Gradually add cornstarch and sugar. Beat well after each addition, then add vanilla.
  • 7. Add hot milk to sugar mixture a little at a time, beating thoroughly after each addition until all the sugar dissolves and it is thick enough to spread. It's very important to add the milk a little at a time or it will cause the frosting to curdle.
