{banana cake}

 from Kris Feltwell
Seriously... the best cake evah!! Way better than banana bread... and Let me tell you... I LOVE banana bread. You'll seriously want to lick your plate when you're done.

Top with frosting of your choice. I think sweet cream, cream cheese or chocolate would all be delicious. But I prefer the sweet cream.

2/3 c. shortening

2 1/2 c. cake flour (I used all-purpose flour)

1 2/3 c. sugar

1 1/4 t. baking powder

1 t. soda

1 t. salt

1 1/4 c. mashed bananas

2/3 c. buttermilk ( to make go here I never buy because I'm cheap.)

2 eggs

nuts (optional)

Combine shortening, flour, sugar, baking powder, soda and salt.

Add bananas and 1/3 c. buttermilk.

Beat for 2 minutes.

Add 1/3 c. buttermilk and 2 eggs.

Beat for 2 minutes

Fold in nuts (opt.)

Bake at 350 for 35 min. Cool for 10 min.

See I told you it was good enough to lick the plate.
