Had some browning bananas on the counter - time for Banana cake
Found this really good recipe online - a keeper:

Banana Cake

Preheat oven to 275’(not a typo)

Grease and Flour 9X13 pan

Mash @1 1/2(+)cups banana (@3-4 bananas), add 2t lemon juice - set aside

1 1/2c Buttermilk (or @1 1/2t vinegar w/ regular milk to equal 1 1/2c-set aside to form buttermilk)

Mix 3c flour, 1/4t salt, 1 1/2t baking soda - set aside

Cream 3/4c butter, 2 1/8c sugar, beat in 3 eggs one at a time, mix in 2t vanilla.

Alternately add Milk and flour mixtures to the creamed sugar. Beat well. Stir in bananas.

Bake @1 hour until clean test toothpick at 275’
When done, immediately place cake in freezer for @45 minutes. Remove from freezer and frost.(that sounds funny)

Frosting:
1/2c butter - soften
8ounces cream cheese - soften
3 1/2c confectioners sugar (adjust amounts to taste)
1t vanilla
(add chopped nuts - optional)

(Recently found the trick for moister cakes, muffins, etc. Take them directly out of the oven to a freezer (or outside-these days) to quick chill and stop the baking process faster - Works Great!)
