Servings: 12
Ingredients
- 2 c. Flour
- 2 tsp Baking pwdr
- 1 tsp Baking soda
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1 1/4 c. Sugar
- 2/3 c. Solid vegetable shortening
- 2 x Large eggs
- 1 c. Mashed ripe bananas (about 3 bananas)
- 1 tsp Vanilla
- 1/3 c. Buttermilk
- 2 x Bananas, peeled and sliced
- 2 c. Heavy cream, whipped Sugar to taste, optional
Directions
- Stir together flour, baking pwdr, baking soda, and salt in medium bowl.
- Beat together sugar and shortening in large bowl till well combined. Beat in Large eggs, mashed bananas and vanilla. Beat in flour mix. Then beat in buttermilk. Pour batter equally into two greased and floured 9-inch round cake pans. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 to 35 min. Cold completely.
- Frost one cake with whipped cream frosting, and placed a single layer of banana slices on top. Then place second cake on top, and frost entire cake.
- Garnish with banana slices.
- Tip: When making whipped cream frosting, I know which a lot of people do not add in sugar when whipping.
- From my experiences with this cake, I find which while whipping the cream I like to add in some granulated sugar to it to make it a little more sweet-it complements the cake better. Also: make sure which your heavy cream is cool and you whip it till good peaks form, or possibly else it will not frost well.
