Here's a tasty recipe for Banana Cake:
2 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1-1/4 cups sugar
2/3 cups solid vegetable shortening
2 eggs
1 cup mashed ripe bananas (about 3 bananas)
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/3 cup buttermilk
2 bananas, peeled and sliced
Whipped Cream Frosting:
2 cups heavy cream, whipped
May add sugar to taste
Stir together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in medium
bowl. Beat together sugar and shortening in large bowl until well
combined. Beat in eggs, mashed bananas and vanilla. Beat in flour
mixture. Then beat in buttermilk. Pour batter equally into two greased
and floured 9-inch round cake pans. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 to 35
minutes. Cool completely.
Frost one cake with whipped cream frosting, and placed a single layer of
banana slices on top. Then place second cake on top, and frost entire
cake. Garnish with banana slices.
Tip: When making whipped cream frosting, I know that a lot of people
don't add sugar when whipping. From my experiences with this cake, I
find that while whipping the cream I like to add some granulated sugar to
it to make it a little more sweet-it complements the cake better. Also:
make sure that your heavy cream is cold and you whip it until good peaks
form, or else it won't frost well.
Good luck, and enjoy!
