Ingredients for Banana Cake:
Method of preparing the Banana Cake:
-
Preheat the oven to 275°F (135°C). Grease and flour a 9X13-inch baking pan.
-
Mix the bananas with the lemon juice, and set aside. In a medium bowl, mix the flour, baking soda, and salt and set aside.
-
In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, and then stir in the vanilla.
-
Alternating between the two, gradually beat the flour mixture and the buttermilk into the creamed butter-egg-sugar mixture.
-
Stir in the mashed bananas until just mixed.
-
Pour the batter into the baking dish and bake for around 70 minutes, or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
-
While the cake is baking, place a sheet pan in the freezer.
-
Remove the cake from the oven and place it on the frozen sheet pan. Freeze for 45-60 minutes.
-
Cream the butter and cream cheese together. On a low setting, beat in the vanilla extract and the powdered sugar until combined. Mix on high until smooth.
-
Frost the cooled cake and serve.
