Banana Cake

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 ½ cups sugar
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
¾ teaspoon baking soda
3 large bananas
½ cup buttermilk or sour milk
½ cup shortening
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla Oven 350 degrees

In a bowl combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt. Add banana, buttermilk, shortening, eggs and vanilla. Beat with an electric mixer on low speed until combined. Beat on medium speed for 3 minutes.

Pour batter into 2 greased and floured 8x1 ½ or 9x1 ½ inch round baking pans. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 30 to 35 min., or till a toothpick comes out clean. Cool on racks for 10 minutes. Remove from pans; cool on racks. Serves 12.

Milk Chocolate (or Vanilla Frosting)

*** For double layer cake, may I suggest a double recipe for the frosting.

Whip 1 Egg White Until Stiff

Mix in Bowl: ¼ lb Butter, ½ Cup Crisco until fluffy

Sift into mixture: 1 cup well packed powdered sugar & mix well

Then add in egg white & 1 TSP vanilla

Then…

Bring to a boil: ¼ cup milk

Add milk a little at a time with beaters at medium speed

Add cocoa for milk chocolate. The more you add the darker the frosting will be.

 

ENJOY!

I guess what we get is farm raised. It's a good white fish. I cooked sole tonight....not my fav cuz it is too delicate!

I bet the pear trees are lovely! The Sweet Acacia is in bloom now. It smells so nice but seems to really mess with the sinusus! lol

One of my favorites: You need tortillas, shredded Monterey Jack and salsa (I like LaVictoria's Salsa Suprema). Warm tortillas in the microwave for 10 seconds so they're nice and warm and soft. Leaving one inch on each side fill the center of the tortilla with a small handful of shredded Monterey Jack and a couple of teaspoons of salsa. Fold and roll into a burrito. Flatten. Fry in scorch-free margarine or olive oil on medium heat until dark golden brown on each side. MmmmMmmm!

[luvie]

Ah...one of my favorite graphics! Thanks for the pledge Hope!

Add sausages, or bacon, or both, and everyone seems to go away happy. The sweet and the salty work well together.

[MS.BEHAVIN]

Thanks Bahbah!
Sounds wonderful!
