Steps:

• Beat mashed banana, lemon juice, and salt in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed for 30 seconds. Beat in softened butter until creamy, about 1 minute. Slowly beat in powdered sugar, 1 cup at a time, until smooth.

Steps:

• Preheat Oven to 350°F.
• Ovens will lose heat immediately the door is opened.
• A hint for retaining temperature without heat loss when oven door is first opened is to pre-set the oven to about 50° higher than required.
• As soon as pan (s) are put into the oven, close the door and immediately reset to required temperature.
• For BANANA/LEMON SENSATION, set the oven to 400°F and drop down to 350°, at the ready.
• "Prepare" loaf pan in the usual way using a light cooking/baking spray and light dusting of flour.
• Set aside for later use.
• In a small bowl, grate the lemon and set aside (If you have an aversion to lemon, skip this step).
• In a small saucepan, squeeze the fresh lemon half.
• FOR THE LOAF: In a medium-sized bowl, mash bananas well, with a fork.
• In a separate bowl, cream butter or margarine with 1 cup sugar.
• In a separate bowl, beat eggs really well.
• In a large bowl, combine mashed bananas, butter mixture, well-beaten eggs.
• Beat again.
• NOTE: If you are using a blender or food processor, please be aware of over-spills.
• Sift together (if you prefer sifting) flour, baking soda and salt.
• (HINT: Because of the lemon sauce, I do not add salt. If you do not use lemon juice, or lemon rind, salt may be added, in the quantity stipulated above) Add banana mixture to flour a quarter at a time, and mix well after each addition, by hand, with a large mixing-spoon.
• Scrape batter down sides of the bowl into the flour and mix well.
• At this point, add the grated lemon peel and mix well.
• You can never mix too much.
• Ingredients must be well-combined prior to baking.
• Bake for 50 minutes to 1 hour. (my oven requires the full hour).
• Remove from oven and with your cake tester, test for doneness.
• Cake tester should come out clean, with no evidence of batter.
• Using your cake tester, puncture the loaf, all over the top, but not right through.
• While loaf is still hot, carefully spoon the lemon sauce over the surface.
• This will seep into the loaf through the punctures and add flavour to the Banana Loaf.
• Set on cooling rack until the pan can be handled easily, about 1/2 hour.
• Turn the pan over and tap hard on the bottom to loosen the loaf.
• Continue cooling baked loaf, until ready to seal and put away, or serve same day.
• THE LEMON SAUCE: In a small sauce-pan, over medium heat, combine lemon juice and sugar (or other sweetener) Mix continuously and bring to a boil.
• If you have an aversion to lemon, skip this step.

Steps:

• Cream together butter, banana, lemon juice and vanilla. Slowly beat in confectioners' sugar, adding more if needed to make a nice fluffy, spreadable icing. Makes about 2 1/3 cups.

Steps:

• For cake, preheat oven to 350°F.
• Measure flour, soda, salt, baking powder and sugar into mixing bowl.
• Add softened butter and mix at medium speed of electric mixer until the mixture is a "mealy" consistency.
• Add buttermilk and mashed banana gradually and mix for four minutes; your mixture should be light and fluffy.
• Scrape the mixture from the sides of the bowl and add eggs in two additions, beating after each addition of egg.
• Pour into two greased and floured 9 inch cake pans and bake at 350° for about 25 minutes (cake should be golden brown).
• Remove layers from pan and cool completely, then chill layers before you frost the cake (the icing is thin and it WILL RUN if cake is not cold!).
• For frosting, cream butter and sugar together and slowly add the cream.
• Add the mashed banana gradually, continuing to beat as you add it.
• Add corn syrup and mix enough to blend well (corn syrup will help the thin frosting to "set").
• Frost cake and store in refrigerator.
