Banana Layer Cake
INGREDIENTS:
2 c Flour
2 ts Baking powder
1 ts Baking soda
1/2 ts Salt
1 1/4 c Sugar
2/3 c Solid vegetable shortening
2 Eggs
1 c Mashed ripe bananas (about 3
-bananas)
1 ts Vanilla

2 c Flour
2 ts Baking powder
1 ts Baking soda
1/2 ts Salt
1 1/4 c Sugar
2/3 c Solid vegetable shortening
2 Eggs
1 c Mashed ripe bananas (about 3
-bananas)
1 ts Vanilla
1/3 c Buttermilk
2 Bananas; peeled and sliced
-WHIPPED CREAM FROSTING-
2 c Heavy cream; whipped Sugar to taste; optional
Frost one cake with whipped cream frosting, and placed a single layer of banana slices on top. Then place second cake on top, and frost entire cake. Garnish with banana slices.
Tip: When making whipped cream frosting, I know that a lot of people don't add sugar when whipping. From my experiences with this cake, I find that while whipping the cream I like to add some granulated sugar to it to make it a little more sweet-it complements the cake better. Also: make sure that your heavy cream is cold and you whip it until good peaks form, or else it won't frost well.
