Things That Make Me Smile



 I've always loved this quote and well, I love cake too!  I made this banana cake yesterday and it is SO good. The recipe was given to me years ago from my friend Betty.

Banana Cake

2 Egg Yolks
1/2 Cup Butter softened
2 Cups of Sugar
1 Cup of Buttermilk
4 Ripe Bananas cut up
2 Cups of Flour
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking soda
2 Egg Whites beaten

Mix egg yolks, butter and sugar with mixer.  Slowly add buttermilk and then the bananas.  Sift in flour, salt and soda.  Combine well.  Fold in 2 beaten egg whites.

Bake in 13x9 inch buttered and floured pan at 350 degrees for about 40 to 45 minutes.

Frosting

8 oz Cream Cheese
1/4 Cup of Milk
1 to 1/2 Cups Powdered Sugar
Combine all ingredients adding milk or sugar depending on desired consistency.  I made it a little on the thin side to smoothly and evenly cover the cake.

I hope everyone is having a good Friday and enjoys the weekend!!

  1. Oh yum...

    But I am trying to cut back on consuming of sugar. To cut back on inflammation.

    1. I don't have much of a sweet tooth but every now and then I love cake.
      Have you research Zyflamend? I've been taking it for a few years, and it really helps me. The ingredient list is not scary like some.

  2. That looks so good. I don't have any bananas right now, but I am going to run to the store for avocados and large tomatoes. SO I am going to look for overripe bananas. Also used up the cream cheese.

  3. I always think of my father in law. He loved cake, but needed coffee to go with it. On a sweltering June afternoon, I made him coffee to go with my son's graduation cake. No one else drank a bit. He loved his cake and coffee. Good memories.

    1. Those are good memories Sam and he sounds like my husband. He always wants coffee with his cake regardless of the weather.
