Verjean's Banana Cake

Recipe #392179 | 45 min | 15 min prep | add private note

By: Chef #522148
Sep 28, 2009

This delicious banana cake recipe is from my grandmother, Verjean Gunn Arends of Ackley, IA. She was an award-winning cook and this is a great recipe. Make this into wonderful mini-loaves, a regular cake, or put in a jelly-roll pan to make bars. Goes great with frosting.

SERVES 8 , 8 mini loaves (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    FIRST, STIR YOUR DRY INGREDIENTS IN A BOWL:.
  2. 2
    2 1/2 cups flour.
  3. 3
    1 2/3 cups sugar.
  4. 4
    1 1/4 teaspoons baking powder.
  5. 5
    1 1/4 tsp baking soda.
  6. 6
    1 teaspoons salt.
  7. 7
    ADD THE FOLLOWING
  8. 8
    2/3 cup Crisco.
  9. 9
    1/3 cup buttermilk.
  10. 10
    1 1/4 cup mashed bananas (3-4).
  11. 11
    NEXT, Beat 2 minutes at medium speed.
  12. 12
    THEN ADD THE FOLLOWING:.
  13. 13
    1/3 cup buttermilk.
  14. 14
    2 large eggs, unbeaten.
  15. 15
    Beat 2 more minutes. Put in greased 9 x 13 pan. Bake 30 to 45 minutes at 350. If you decide to do mini loaves, only fill about 2/3 fulls because the batter will rise considerably. Even at 2/3 full, the tops were about 2 1/2 inches above the loaf pan.
