Steps:

• 2. Cream shortening; add sugar gradually; cream together until light and fluffy.
• 3. Add unbeaten eggs one at a time beating thoroughly after each addition.
• 4. Add dry ingredients alternately with sour milk or buttermilk, stirring only enough after each addition to blend thoroughly.

• 6. Bake in a moderate oven (350 F.) 45 to 50 minutes.
• 7. When cool spread with any desired frosting. (My mother used Burnt Sugar Frosting.)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Cream the butter, add sugar and eggs.
• Mix well, add the bananas, nuts and vanilla.
• Prepare the sour milk by stirring the lemon juice into the milk.
• Sift the dry ingredients and add them to the banana mixture.
• Mix in the sour milk gently.
• Pour into a prepared 9 x 12" pan.
• Bake at 350 degrees for 45 min - 1 hour (until firm in the center).
• *We find this cake sweet, so I usually just sprinkle icing sugar on top and serve it warm with vanilla bean ice cream.
• It's also nice with vanilla or chocolate buttercream frosting.
• If making cupcakes, bake for 15 - 20 minutes, or until toothpick comes out clean.

Steps:

• Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and lightly flour a metal or disposable foil 9-by-13-inch pan. Whisk dry ingredients and spices in a large bowl. Mix milk, eggs and vanilla extract in a 2-cup measuring cup.
• Beat softened butter into dry ingredients, first on low, then medium, until mixture forms pebble-sized pieces. Add about 1/3 of the milk mixture and beat on low until smooth. Add remaining milk mixture in two stages; beat on medium speed until batter is just smooth. Add the sugar; beat until just incorporated, about 30 seconds. Pour batter into cake pan.
• Bake until a cake tester or toothpick inserted into the cake's center comes out clean, about 40 minutes. Set pan on a wire rack; let cool for 5 minutes. Run a knife around the pan perimeter and turn cake onto rack. Let cool.
