Banana Cake
1 1/2 sticks butter
2 eggs
2 cups sugar
Cream together.

Add:
2 cups flour
1 tsp. soda
1 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
3/4 cup buttermilk
1 cup mashed ripe bananas
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1/2 c. Chopped Nuts (optional)

Mix well. Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour.
May use a 13x9-inch pan or 2 round layers. It makes a great layer cake which is what I am making today.

Banana Icing
1 stick softened butter
1 mashed banana
1 (16 oz) box powdered sugar
1 tsp. vanilla extract
milk to smooth

Cream butter and powdered sugar together. Add mashed banana & vanilla. If it is too thick smooth with milk.

Spread on cooled cake.
