Banana Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting

Problem:
The most perfect solution:

Sometimes I intentionally buy too many bananas just so they will over-ripen and I can make this cake.

The Cake part of the recipe:

1/2 cup butter or margarine

1 1/2 cups sugar

2 eggs

1 tsp vanilla

1 cup mashed bananas

1/2 cup sour milk

2 cups AP flour

1 1/2 tsp baking powder

1 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp salt

Preheat oven to 350. Cream together butter and sugar. Beat in eggs. Add vanilla.

Mix bananas with sour milk (how I make sour milk: add 1 tbsp. white vinegar to the 1/2 cup measuring cup and then add milk to fill cup. Allow it to sit a couple minutes before adding to bananas). Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Add to butter mixture in 3 parts alternating with banana mixture in 2 parts, beginning and ending with flour. Spread in 2 greased round 8 inch layer pans . Bake in oven for 30-35 minutes, until an inserted wooden pick comes out clean. Cool.

Now for the best part: The Frosting part of the recipe...

8 oz. cream cheese

1/4 cup butter

2 cups powdered sugar

Cream together the cream cheese and butter, slowly add powdered sugar and beat until fluffy.

Now take one of the cooled cakes and plop it upside down on a platter. Plop some of the frosting on it and spread it around


Place the second cake on top of the first and add the rest of the frosting to it. Spread the frosting all over the top and sides of the cake.

The finished product (Okay, it looks kind of boring, but oh-so-good...if you're a banana cake-loving type person)

Yum. And now I am going to go have myself a slice
