BANANA SHEET CAKE
CAKE

Cream:
1 Cup Sugar

½ Cup Butter or Margarine

2 Eggs

1 Cup Buttermilk (substitute = mix 1 Tbsp Vinegar with approximately 1 Cup Milk)

1 Cup Chopped Nuts (suggestion = Pecans)

Add:
2 Cups Flour

1 tsp Baking Soda

1 tsp Vanilla

2 ½ Regular-Sized Bananas, Mashed

Mix all ingredients together. Pour into a greased 9”x13” pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 35-40 minutes. Another option is to pour mixture into a sheet cake pan and bake for 15 minutes at 350 degrees. Check cake consistency with a toothpick.

FROSTING
Boil over low heat for 2 minutes, stirring constantly:

½ Cup Butter or Margarine
1 Cup Brown Sugar

Stir in ¼ Cup Milk.

Continue stirring until mixture comes to a boil. Cool mixture to lukewarm temperature. Add 1 3/4 Cups Powdered Sugar. Beat until mixture has a consistency that will be easy to spread (hot water may be added to thin frosting).
