Bananas are a staple in our house.  Well, that and peanut butter...  MMMM...bananas and peanut butter...

Sorry.  Homer moment.

This yummy banana cake was a hit in our house and I'm sure it will be in yours as well given you and your family like bananas.

not pictured:  vanilla frosting

What you'll need for the cake:

1 ½ cups sugar

1/22 cup shortening

1 cup very ripe, browning bananas, mashed

2 eggs

1 ½ flour

1 tsp baking soda

2 tbsp milk

½ apple cider

1 container of vanilla frosting

1.)  Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.  Mix sugar, shortening, and bananas until well blended. 

In a separate small bowl, combine milk and apple cider.  Add eggs, flour, baking soda, and milk mixture to banana mixture.  Blend well.

2.)  Grease two 8 inch pie tins.  Pour mixture evenly into the tins. 

Bake for 30 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean.  Let cool for about 10 minutes.

3.)  Place one cake onto a cake platter. 

Frost over top of the single cake.  Then place second cake on top. 

Frost evenly around top and sides of cake.

I know I said in the last post, this one would be broccoli cassarole but silly me forgot to take pictures when I made it.  Oops!  Brain fart!  It's on the list of things to make soon.

I haven't decided yet what the next post will be but I can prmise it will be something delicious and basically effortless.
