MOM'S FRESH BANANA CAKE



Mom's Fresh Banana Cake image

Letting mashed bananas sit overnight enhances the banana flavor in this easy to make cake. It has the flavor of banana bread, but a texture more like a carrot cake. We loved the cream cheese frosting on top. Tangy and sweet, it's perfect with the banana cake.

  • 10. Frost the cake. Sprinkle lightly with chopped pecans.

Time 2h30m

Yield 18

Number Of Ingredients 14

¾ cup butter
2 ⅛ cups white sugar
3 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 ½ teaspoons baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
1 ½ cups buttermilk
2 teaspoons lemon juice
1 ½ cups mashed bananas
½ cup butter, softened
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
3 ½ cups confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 275 degrees F (135 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9x13 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.
