Description

Ingredients

• For the cake:
• 1½ cups bananas, mashed, ripe
• 2 teaspoons lemon juice
• 3 cups flour
• 1½ teaspoons baking soda
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• ¾ cup butter, softened
• 2 cups sugar
• 3 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla
• 1½ cups buttermilk
• For the frosting:
• ½ cup butter, softened
• 1 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 3½ cups confectioners sugar

Directions

• Preheat oven to 350°.
• Grease and flour a 9 x 13 pan.
• In a small bowl, mix mashed banana with the lemon juice; set aside.
• In a medium bowl, mix flour, baking soda and salt; set aside.
• In a large bowl, cream ¾ cup butter and 2 cups sugar until light and fluffy.
• Beat in eggs, one at a time, then stir in 2 tsp vanilla.
• Beat in the flour mixture alternately with the buttermilk.
• Stir in banana mixture.
• Pour batter into prepared pan and bake in preheated oven a until toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. I used a glass 9x12 pan and baked for 55 minutes. Your baking time could vary. Check for doneness at 50 minutes.
• Remove from oven and place directly into the freezer for 45 minutes or until cooled. This will make the cake very moist.
• For the frosting, cream the butter and cream cheese until smooth.
• Beat in 1 teaspoon vanilla.
• Add confectioners sugar and beat on low-speed until combined, then on high-speed until frosting is smooth.
• Spread on cooled cake.
