Banana Spice Cake





This was one of my Nana's favorite recipes using leftover bananas. Unfortunately there is no way to make this one 'healthy' so I won't list the points. If you want to see her other recipe it is Chocolate Banana Cake - not sure I could pick a favorite! 

Ingredients: 

2 or 3 bananas =1 cup 
1 tsp. lemon  
2 1/4 cups sifted flour 
2 tsp. baking powder 
1/2 tsp. baking soda 
1 tsp. salt 
1 1/2 cups sugar 
1 tsp. cinnamon 
1/2 tsp. nutmeg 
1/2 cup shortening 
2/3 cup sour (1 tsp. vinegar to regular milk) 
2 eggs 
1 tsp. vanilla 
1/2 cup nuts 

Sift flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Set aside. Cream together the shortening and sugar. Add eggs one at a time beating well after each. Add lemon juice, sour milk, and vanilla and beat well. Alternate between adding the bananas and dry ingredients until well blended. Grease and flour a 13x9" pan. Add the banana mixture and bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes or until done.

*Feel free to either dust the top with powdered sugar or frost with cream cheese frosting
