Categories     Dessert

Time 50m

Yield 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 3/4 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/4 cups sugar
1/2 cup butter, softened
1/4 cup buttermilk
1 1/4 cups mashed ripe bananas
2 large eggs
1 lb confectioners' sugar
6 tablespoons butter, softened
2 tablespoons light cream
1 tablespoon light corn syrup
1/2 cup ripe banana, mashed

Steps:

  • For cake, preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Measure flour, soda, salt, baking powder and sugar into mixing bowl.
  • Add softened butter and mix at medium speed of electric mixer until the mixture is a "mealy" consistency.
  • Add buttermilk and mashed banana gradually and mix for four minutes; your mixture should be light and fluffy.
  • Scrape the mixture from the sides of the bowl and add eggs in two additions, beating after each addition of egg.
  • Pour into two greased and floured 9 inch cake pans and bake at 350° for about 25 minutes (cake should be golden brown).
  • Remove layers from pan and cool completely, then chill layers before you frost the cake (the icing is thin and it WILL RUN if cake is not cold!).
  • For frosting, cream butter and sugar together and slowly add the cream.
  • Add the mashed banana gradually, continuing to beat as you add it.
  • Add corn syrup and mix enough to blend well (corn syrup will help the thin frosting to "set").
