Banana Oatmeal Cake

Source of Recipe

My friend Ev gave me this recipe.


Recipe Introduction

This recipe calls for buttermilk or sour milk. Whenever a recipe calls for this.. you can make your own. This is how: Take a 1-cup measuring device. Add 1 tablespoon of white vinegar. Add milk to the 1-cup line and stir. Let it sit for about 5 minutes and then use as much is needed in the recipe. I frost this cake with a cream cheese frosting, but you can use any frosting you like. My friend Ev uses a chocolate frosting on her cake.
