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!
