Tasty Tuesday Banana Cake

Again I feel the need to apologize for the lack of crafty posts going on here.  I am still learning how to balance all my time being a new mommy.  There will be a new post of a Easter/ Spring center piece craft tomorrow though, promise!! 

For our tasty Tuesday this week I wanted to keep things going lighter and fresher to keep us feeling the spring in the air and since Easter is just a few day away, we have this amazing Banana Cake!  This is a regular at my family parties and is quite delectible.

What you will need:
Cake
1/2 C. butter
1 1/2 C sugar
2 eggs
8 oz. sour cream
1 tsp. vanilla
2 C. flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. salt
3 med. ripe bananas

Frosting
8 oz cream cheese
1/2 C. butter
1 tsp. vanilla
3 3/4-4 C. powdered sugar

Cream the butter and sugar.  Next add the eggs, sour cream, and vanilla and mix until well combined.  mix all dry ingredients in a seperate bowl and gradually add to the creamed mixture. Mash up the bananas in a seperate bowl and add the bananas to this mixture.

Grease a 9x13 pan and pour in mixture.  Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 30-35 minutes.  let cool completely and then frost.  Store in fridge and serve cold.  Helpful Hint:  you can even make this cake a few days before and store in refridgerator and it will be even better.  As you can see topping with some fresh strawberries can add a little more zest and freshness to it!  I'm sure any fresh berries would be good though!

I hope you enjoy this cake as much as my family and I do!

Happy Crafting!
