Luci's Frosted Banana Cake from melskitchencafe.com
½ cup butter, softened
1 ½ cups white sugar
2 eggs
1 cup sour cream (I use reduced fat)
1 tsp vanilla
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
¼ tsp salt
1 cup mashed ripe bananas (I use three ripe bananas)
Preheat
the oven to 350 degrees. Grease a large jelly roll pan. In a large
bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until smooth. Beat in the
eggs, one at a time, then stir in the sour cream and vanilla. Combine
the flour, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl; stir into the batter.
Finally, mix in the mashed banana. Spread evenly into the prepared
pan(s). Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the
center comes out clean. Allow bars to cool completely before frosting.
