Bonus Recipe: Banana Cake

After all those entree's this week, you didn't think I'd leave you without a dessert did you?? Sorry there is not a picture of this one...yeah it was gone that fast! Think of it as a more moist, and sweeter banana bread.

Banana Cake (recipe sent to me by my sister)

2 cups flour

1 1/4 cup sugar

1 tsp. baking powder

1 tsp. baking soda

1/2 cup shortening

1/2 cup butter milk (if no butter milk than 1/2 cup milk with 1/2 tablespoon lemon juice)

1 cup mashed bananas

2 eggs

1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)

Stir dry ingredients together. mix shortening , milk and bananas with dry ingredients. Stir for 2 mins. Add remaining ingredients, beat for 2 minutes. Bake at 375 degrees until done or about 30 minutes.

FROSTING

1/2 cup butter

1 cup brown sugar

1 cup milk

Melt butter and add brown sugar cook over low heat for 1 minute stir constantly. Add milk and stir til it boils. Remove from heat and pour over cake. **This frosting is super duper thin when you pour it over the cake, almost as thin as water, but I promise it will set!**
