Fluffy Banana Cake Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour two 9 inch layer cake pans. Sift together flour, baking powder, soda, and salt; set aside.
• In a large bowl, combine the shortening, sugar, eggs, and vanilla. Beat well. Blend in the buttermilk. Add sifted flour mixture alternately with mashed banana to the egg mixture while beating. Pour batter into prepared pans.
• Bake cake for 30 to 35 minutes. Remove from pans, and cool on wire racks. Fill and frost the cake with whipped cream.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 275°. Grease and flour 9x13 pan.
• Make "buttermilk". It's easiest to make all the buttermilk at once, so 1 3/4 c milk + 1/2 T lemon juice (this is additional juice, not what's in ingredients above). Let set during next steps.
• Cake: In a small bowl, mix mashed bananas with lemon juice, set aside.
• In a medium bowl, mix flour, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
• In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla. Beat in the flour mixture alternating with "buttermilk". Stir in banana mixture. Pour batter into prepared pan.
• Bake for 1 hour or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Move from oven directly to freezer for 30 minutes (I put a dish towel under the pan). This makes the cake very moist. This is optional. It's still good without doing this.
• Frosting: In a large bowl, cream butter and cream cheese until smooth, add buttermilk and vanilla. Gradually add powdered sugar while beating on low until combined, then on high until frosting is smooth. Spread on cooled cake.
• Optional, garnish with chopped pecans or walnuts.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spray and flour a 9x13 pan.
• Cream the shortening, eggs, and vanilla together. Mix in the flour, sugar, banana, and buttermilk; beat until creamy.
• Bake approximately 30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
• Icing:.
• Beat the egg whites, salt, sugar and vanilla until stiff peaks form. Spread on cake and top with banana slices (dip in lemon juice to prevent browning).
