| Submitted by: Janice Capaldi November 2002 Ingredients: 4 medium bananas 2/3 cup shortening 2/3 cup milk 3 eggs 1-2/3 cups sugar 2-1/3 cups flour 1-1/4 t baking soda 1-1/4 t baking powder 1/2 t salt 3/4 cup chopped nuts Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare pan with shortening and flour or Baker's Joy. Excluding the nuts, measure and place all ingredients into a large mixing bowl. Beat on low speed for one minute then on high speed for two more minutes. Add nuts last - stir in by hand. These are optional and can be substituted with raisons Baking options: Two 8" pans 40-43 minutes Two 9" pans 35-40 minutes Bundt Pan 55 minutes 9" x 13" pan 45-50 minutes Baking times will vary based on the oven and size of the bananas. Use clean knife test and adjust as needed. This is an extremely friendly recipe - it is forgiving if you don't measure exactly. It turns out great and doesn't need frosting but if frosting is desired - cream cheese complements it well. (My sister Cynthia baked this cake for me . . . It's my mom's recipe) |
