There's something fun about bananas. Maybe it's the imagery of a clown slipping on a banana skin and winding up with his head in a bucket of water. Or possibly the word banana just sounds funny. Anyway, if you want to cook up a treat, try this banana cake:
2 medium eggs.
2 ½ cups of sifted cake flour.
1 ¾ cups of sugar.
1 ¼ cups of mashed fully ripe bananas .
¾ cup of shortening.
¾ cup of buttermilk.
1 ¼ teaspoons of baking powder.
1 teaspoon of baking soda.
1 teaspoon of salt.
Place the shortening in a mixing bowl.

Sift in the dry ingredients.

Add bananas and half of the buttermilk.

Mix until moistened.

Beat the eggs.

Mix together the eggs and the other half of the buttermilk; then add to the mixture.

Mix thoroughly.

Bake in a lightly floured cake pan at 350F for 35-40 minutes.

Allow to cool for about 10 minutes.

Remove from pan and serve.
