BANANA CAKE

I found this recipe on "I Heart Food" (I added a link on the side) & it won us over. I've been getting bananas in the Co-Op basket lately & we just don't eat them. I had some very ripe bananas sitting on my counter & wanted to try something different rather than banana bread. Made this yesterday (Monday) & it will easily be gone by tonight. It is DELISH!!

Recipe:

1/2 cup butter

2 beaten eggs

1 tsp vanilla

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/4 tsp salt

1 1/2 cup sugar

1 cup mashed bananas

2 cup flour

1/2 cup milk

Pre-heat your over to 350 degrees.

Start by creaming the butter and sugar in a large mixing bowl

Add eggs and vanilla and beat well

Now add your mashed bananas to the mix. Our bananas were already very soft so we just added them whole.

After the bananas are added the mixture will look pretty runny... that's when you add the dry ingredients.

Sift dry ingredients together. Alternate between adding the dry ingredients and milk

Grease a 13X9 pan and pour in the batter

Place pan in the oven and bake for 20-30 minutes. Use the toothpick trick to determine when the cake is done

Once the cake is cooled, sprinkle powdered sugar on top. (**We didn't add the powdered sugar & it was still WONDERFUL!!**)
