Banana Cake

For my kids, they know full well that I will inevitable buy a whole bunch of bananas with the intent that we will eat them all before they ripen past our desired eating range and then I will wait just a few more days and a the sight of the first banana gnat finally decide to make something with them. In all honesty I think that they may like them in this form the best. =) This little scenario plays itself out over and over in our house, and well... the same banana bread, muffins, bars, and smoothies can get a bit dull.. So we tried something a little different and every piece was eaten with haste. Mission Complete!


Banana Cake
1 Cup White Sugar
2 Eggs
3/4 Cup Brown Sugar
3 Ripe Bananas
2/3 Cup Buttermilk
1/2 Cup Butter - Softened
1 Tsp. Baking Soda
2 1/2 Cup Flour
1/2 Cup Mini Chopped Walnuts - optional
1 Cup Mini Chocolate Chips - optional

Mix together well and pour into a well greased and floured bunt pan or two 8 inch round cake pans. Bake at 350 degrees for 40 min or until toothpick comes out with crumbles. Place on cooling rack and wait 15 minutes before inverting onto cake plate. Let cool completely and frost with your favorite frosting. I used Cream Cheese, but would also be delicious with a brown sugar frosting. ENJOY!
