This Banana Cake Deserves A Spot On Your Table !!
Recipe By: Cindy Carnes
“This cake was first made for me by a friend while I was visiting her after she had delivered her 11th child. I told her, ‘I should have baked for you!’”
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup butter
 - 2 1/8 cups white sugar
 - 3 eggs
 - 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
 - 3 cups all-purpose flour
 - 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
 - 1/4 teaspoon salt
 - 1 1/2 cups buttermilk
 - 2 teaspoons lemon juice
 - 1 1/2 cups mashed bananas
 - 1/2 cup butter, softened
 - 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
 - 3 1/2 cups confectioners’ sugar
 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
 
Directions
- Preheat oven to 275 degrees F (135 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9×13 inch pan. In a small bowl, mix mashed bananas with lemon juice, set aside. In a medium bowl, mix flour, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
 - In a large bowl, cream 3/4 cup butter and 2 1/8 cups sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in 2 teaspoons vanilla. Beat in the flour mixture alternately with the buttermilk. Stir in banana mixture. Pour batter into prepared pan.
 - Bake in preheated oven for 1 hour, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Remove from oven and place directly into freezer for 45 minutes. This will make the cake very moist.
 - For the frosting: In a large bowl, cream 1/2 cup butter and cream cheese until smooth. Beat in 1 teaspoon vanilla. Add confectioners sugar and beat on low speed until combined, then on high until frosting is smooth. Spread on cooled cake.
