Great Banana Cake Recipes

Here are two great banana cakes. Both are made from scratch. They are both very moist and delicious.

Hummingbird Cake

3 cups flour
2 cups sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
3 eggs, beaten
1 1/2 cups vegetable oil
1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 8 oz. can crushed pineapple
2 cups chopped nuts
2 cups chopped ripe bananas

Put the dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Add eggs, oil and stir until moist. Do not beat. Add vanilla, pineapple, nuts and bananas. Pour into 4 well greased 9 inch pans. Bake 25 - 30 minutes at 350 degrees. Frost this cake with cream cheese frosting. The recipe is below.

Cream Cheese Frosting

1 8 oz. package cream cheese
1 stick butter or margarine
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 box powdered sugar

Mix cream cheese, butter and vanilla together until creamy. Gradually add powdered sugar. Frost and serve.

This is a very popular cake at my office.

Next is a big family favorite.

Tropical Banana Cake

2 1/2 cup sifted cake flour
1 2/3 cups sugar
1 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon soda
1 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup shortening
1 1/4 cup mashed bananas
2 large eggs
2/3 cup buttermilk
1 teaspoon vanilla

Sift together into a large bowl flour, sugar, baking powder, soda and salt. Add shortening, bananas and 1/3 cup buttermilk. Stir to dampen flour. Beat with electric mixer 2 minutes. Add remaining buttermilk, eggs and vanilla. Beat 2 minutes. Pour into 2 paper-lined 9-inch pans. Bake 30 to 35 minutes in a 350 degree oven. Now while our cake is cooling, we move on to the frosting.

Lemon-Banana Frosting

2/3 cup butter or margarine
4 cups powdered sugar
6 tablespoon mashed banana
2 tablespoon lemon juice

Cream butter and sugar. Add banana and lemon juice. Blend until smooth and frost your cake. Do not serve this cake right after you have finished frosting. It will be too sweet. This cake needs to be refrigerated for at least 24 hours before serving. Then, it is fabulous and ready for company!

I have been baking for my family and friends for over 40 years. For more great cake recipes and other dessert recipes, please visit My Sweetie's Favorite Dessert Recipes at http://www.favorite-dessert-recipes.com.

American Dessert Banana Ice Cream

Ice cream is often called The Great American Dessert. Find out the history behind ice cream - sundaes and cones. Ice cream structure is both fascinating and confusing. The way we perceive the texture of ice cream when we consume it (smooth, coarse, etc.) is based on its structure, and thus structure is probably one of its most important attributes.

Fried Banana ice cream has been so hot recently that my thoughts have turned to ice cream. Ice cream is about the simplest recipe I know for a cool desert. Smooth, creamy cherry ice cream with heart-shaped chocolate covered cherry candies and a thick chocolate sundae sauce swirl. I have served baked bananas as dessert many times. Slit bananas sprinkled with brown sugar, lemon juice, and cinnamon, baked till soft, served with or without ice cream. That sugary lemony sauce looks and tastes divine, full of the ripeness of bananas. But banana in ice cream sounded intriguing.

The banana ice cream really should be unsweetened. Find high quality chocolate if possible. The result was an ice cream we all allowed ourselves to like. The taste of bananas in ice cream was new to us all, and the garden lemon added an interesting and fragrantly refreshing note. It was concluded a winner!

The banana Ice creams are very taste, however, was quite good. A cheap and easy ice cream recipe without cream: just evaporated milk, skim milk and sugar. I flavored the basic ice cream recipe with vanilla and banana puree to get rid of the evaporated milk taste but feel free to improvise! The pure banana ice creams in a blender or food processor with the lemon juice and the sugar. Please purchase online [http://www.indomunch.com] in NewYork city.
