Moist Banana Cake

 

 

This is a delicious cake made with left over bananas.  It keeps moist for well over a week and has a beautiful deep brown color.

 

Ingredients:

2 cups flour

1 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 cup butter, softened

1 cup sugar

2 eggs

1 cup very ripe bananas, mashed  

1/3 cup milk

1 tsp lemon juice

1/2 cup chopped walnuts

 

Directions:                   Preheat oven to 170°

 

1. Sift the flour, soda and salt in a small bowl and set aside.

2. Cream the butter in a mixer and gradually add the sugar.

3. Add the eggs and bananas and blend thoroughly.

4. Combine the milk and the lemon juice in a measuring cup.

5. Alternately, add the milk and the flour to the batter.  Stir in the nuts.

6. Butter a 9"x5"x3" loaf pan.  Pour in the batter and bake for 1 to 1-1/4 hours.  You may need to cover the cake with wax paper or aluminum foil for the last 1/2 hour to prevent excessive browning.

7. Let cool before slicing.
