BANANA CAKE

I know...easy is my favorite word. But it is...easy...and good. I like to fill it with a Chantilly Cream & sliced Bananas drizzled with caramel and then frost it with a Salted Caramel Buttercream. Better than Bananas Foster.

1/2 cup Buttermilk
1 1/4 # Bananas, mashed (2-3)

1 cup Butter
1 1/2 cups Sugar
3 Eggs

2 1/2 cups Sifted Cake Flour
1 tsp. Baking Powder
3/4 tsp. Salt
3/4 tsp. Baking Soda

Preheat oven to 350. Grease 2x 9" pans or 1 10"x3" pan and line with parchment.

Sift Cake Flour - then measure. Sift all Dry Ingredients together. Set Aside.

Mash Bananas & mix together with Buttermilk. Set aside

Beat Butter & Sugar together until light & fluffy. Add Eggs one at a time and continue to beat until very pale in color. Add Buttermilk mixture and mix well. Add Dry Ingredients to batter and mix on low then beat for 1 minute on medium.

Bake for 25-35 minutes, until toothpick is clean.

Here is the Banana Caramel Cream Cake. I finished it off with Pepperidge Farms Pirouette Cookies. The birthday writing leaves much to be desired...had to be said...
