I found this recipe about 5 years ago and have been making it for family gatherings ever since. The coffee-flavored frosting complements the moist banana cake. Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter, softened |
1 cup sugar |
2 eggs |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
2 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
2 teaspoons baking soda |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1-1/2 cups mashed ripe bananas (about 3 medium) |
1 cup (8 ounces) sour cream |
coffee frosting: |
1/3 cup butter, softened |
2-1/2 cups confectioners' sugar |
2 teaspoons instant coffee granules |
2 to 3 tablespoons milk |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla. Combine the flour, baking soda and salt; add to creamed mixture alternately with bananas and sour cream, beating well after each addition.
2. Pour into a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish. Bake at 350° for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool completely on a wire rack.
3. For frosting, in a small bowl, beat butter and confectioners' sugar until smooth. Dissolve coffee granules in milk; add to butter mixture and beat until smooth. Spread over cake. Yield: 12-15 servings.
