Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter
1 cup sugar, white
2 eggs, beaten
2 cups bananas, overripe, mashed
1/2 cup walnuts, chopped fine (optional)
2 cups flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup milk
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla, pure
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Cream the butter, add sugar and eggs.
Mix well, add the bananas, nuts and vanilla.
Prepare the sour milk by stirring the lemon juice into the milk.
Sift the dry ingredients and add them to the banana mixture.
Mix in the sour milk gently.
Pour into a prepared 9 x 12″ pan.
Bake at 350 degrees for 45 min – 1 hour (until firm in the center).
*We find this cake sweet, so I usually just sprinkle icing sugar on top and serve it warm with vanilla bean ice cream.
It’s also nice with vanilla or chocolate buttercream frosting.
If making cupcakes, bake for 15 – 20 minutes, or until toothpick comes out clean.
