Beth's Mom's Best Ever Banana Cake

More banana recipes:
An all time favorite year round. It's easy to make...even the children can get their hands into it!
Ingredients:
1 ½ cup flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
½ cup oil
1 ½ cup sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
1 tsp. baking powder
½ cup sour milk
2-3 bananas, ripe
½ cup nuts, chopped
To make the sour milk, add ½ tsp. vinegar to the milk and let sit for 5 minutes.
Mix the ingredients together in the order listed. When mixed thoroughly, you can turn it out into a large cake pan and bake at 350 ° F for 50 minutes or until done. I suggest lining the baking pan with parchment paper so that it is easier to take the cake out of the pan after baking.
This cake freezes extremely well. In fact, the kids and I quite often freeze the cake and slice off thin slices. We enjoy these frozen slices as they taste very much like frozen banana ice cream. Makes a great hot summer day treat!

Growing up, I was blessed with a grandmother and mother who always grew fresh vegetables. Every spring, we would plant seeds and watch how quickly the plants grew over the months. It was amazing how quickly...

Denise -- lol I can't stay away from chocolate, and I can't stay away from this cake!! I freeze it, slice it thin and eat it like ice cream! lol Sometimes, my mom incorporates chocolate into this recipe (I don't know how she does it) and it is undeniably ADDICTIVE! One cake is never enough (and that's just for me!!) LOL Thank you for the votes and for sharing! Hugs!!
Sounds yummy and pretty healthy.
Banana Cake is my favorite cake flavor, after chocolate. I miss being able to buy this from the bakery. Thanks for the great recipe and I'm giving this a try this week. :) UP/U/I/A and sharing.
