THE BEST BANANA CAKE
My sister made this cake, gave me the recipe, and I tweaked the frosting to make it less sticky, like cream cheese frosting usually becomes. I have never had a complaint about this cake and I've made and taken it to several places/parties. It is great for birthdays, potlucks, holidays, or just to enjoy! My coworkers at both of my jobs absolutely love it!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease and flour a jelly roll or half sheet pan.
- Cream butter, Crisco, and sugar until light in color. I use a Kitchenaid mixer. Any electric mixer will do.
- Add eggs and mix well.
- Add mashed ripe bananas and mix.
- Add vanilla, baking soda, baking powder and mix.
- Alternate additions of flour and buttermilk, ending with flour.
- Bake at 350 Degrees for 25-30 minutes and test. Mine usually take anywhere from 30-40 minutes to make sure it's completely done. May get very brown on top!
- FOR FROSTING: Cream butter, cream cheese, and whipped topping mix. Add about 1/4 cup of creamer and mix well. Add powdered sugar and mix very well. If too thick, continue to add creamer until light and fluffy like soft marshmallow.
- When cake is cooked and cooled, spread frosting evenly over top. I always add either crushed walnuts or some sort of sprinkles!
