    Recipe Introduction


    This truly is the best banana cake.

    List of Ingredients






    Cake:
    3/4 cup butter
    2 1/8 cups white sugar
    3 eggs
    2 teaspoons vanilla extract
    3 cups all-purpose flour
    1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
    1/4 teaspoon salt
    1 1/2 cups buttermilk
    2 teaspoons lemon juice
    1 1/2 cups mashed bananas

    Frosting:
    1/2 cup butter, softened
    1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
    3 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
    1 teaspoon vanilla extract


    Recipe





    Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Grease and flour a 9x13 inch pan. In a small bowl, mix mashed bananas with lemon juice, set aside. In a medium bowl, mix flour, baking soda and salt. Set aside. In a large bowl, cream 3/4 cup butter and 2 1/8 cups sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in 2 teaspoons vanilla. Beat in the flour mixture alternately with the buttermilk. Stir in banana mixture. Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake in preheated oven for 1 hour, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

    For the frosting: In a large bowl, cream 1/2 cup butter and cream cheese until smooth. Beat in 1 teaspoon vanilla. Add confectioners sugar and beat on low speed until combined, then on high until frosting is smooth. Spread on cooled cake.
