Crites Family Stuff

Description

This recipe comes from my mother.

Ingredients for 15 servings

• .66 cup shortening
• 2.5 cups sifted cake flour (Softasilk)
• 1.667 cups sugar
• 1.25 tsp baking powder
• 1.25 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp salt
• 1.25 cups ripe banana, 3-4 medium
• .66 cups buttermilk
• 2 eggs

Steps

1. Stir shortening to soften. Sift the rest of dry ingredients and stir together with the Softasilk. (I use regular flour and don't sift any of the dry ingredients.) Add bananas and 1/3 cup buttermilk. Beat vigorously with spoon and or with mixer on medium for 2 minutes. Add the rest of buttermilk and eggs. Beat 2 minutes more. Fold in the nuts. Bake in 2 greased and floured round pans or loaf pans at 350F for 35 minutes.
2. My mother usually frosted the cake with White Mountain Icing. Use the frosting of your choice.
