·
3/4 cup butter
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
·
· 1/2
cup butter, softened
·
1 (8 ounce)
package cream cheese, softened
·
3 1/2
cups confectioners' sugar
· 1
teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions
1. Preheat
oven to 275 degrees F (135 degrees C). 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.
2. 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.
3. Bake
in preheated oven for 1 hour, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of
the cake comes out clean. Remove from oven and place directly into freezer for
45 minutes. This will make the cake very moist.
4. 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.
