How To Make award winning moist banana cake with frosting

Step 1

Preheat oven to 275 degrees. Grease a 9"x13" pan. Mix mashed banana with lemon juice and set aside.

In medium bowl, blend flour, baking soda and salt and set aside.
Step 3

In large bowl, cream 3/4 cup butter and 2 1/8 cups sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs, one at a time. Add vanilla. Start to mix in the flour mixture alternately with the buttermilk. Stir in the banana mixture by hand.
Step 4

Pour into prepared pan and bake for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Do not over-bake. Remove from oven and place directly into the freezer for 45 minutes. (Don't skip this step... this is important.)
