Phoena’s Awesome Banana Cake
For this banana cake recipe, you’ll want:
¼ c milk
½ tsp vinegar
2 eggs
2-3 ripe bananas
2/3 c butter or margarine (I prefer butter), softened
1½ c sugar
1½ c flour
1 tsp baking soda
½ tsp vanilla
Whipped topping (optional)
Preheat to 350 degrees.
Mix milk and vinegar and set aside
Separate the eggs and whip the whites. They’ve been naughty.
Mash the bananas and add the egg whites to them. Then add the melted butter and sugar to the banana mixture. Mix in the flour, baking soda, milk and egg yolks. After thoroughly mixed, add the vanilla. I’m generous with the vanilla, but I also use imitation (I know, I should be ashamed). Go with your gut.
Bake for 40-50 minutes in an oven-safe cake pan or casserole dish. They say cake is done when you stick in a knife and it comes out clean, but with this, that doesn’t really matter. It shouldn’t be watery in the middle, but the knife doesn’t have to come out clean. Go with your gut.
When it’s done, top with whipped topping if you desire. It’s very yummy! If it doesn’t turn out yummy, you must have screwed it up somehow.
