Cook Time 1 hour
Freezer Time 45 minutes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 cup Mashed Bananas
  • 2 tsp Lemon Juice
  • 3 cups Flour
  • 1 1/2 tsp Baking Soda
  • 1/4 tsp Salt
  • 2 1/8 cup White Sugar
  • 3/4 cup Butter Softened
  • 3 Eggs
  • 2 tsp Vanilla
  • 1 1/2 cup Buttermilk

Frosting:

  • 1/2 cup Butter softened
  • 8oz pkg Cream Cheese softened
  • 1 tsp Vanilla
  • 3 1/2 cup Powdered Sugar

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 275. Grease & flour a 9x13 pan.
  • Mix mashed bananas with lemon juice in a small bowl. Mix flour, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl.
  • Cream sugar and butter in a large bowl until light and fluffy, 3 to 4 minutes. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla. Beat in flour mixture alternately with buttermilk. Stir in banana mixture. Pour batter into the prepared pan.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, about 1 hour. Remove cake from the oven and place it directly into the freezer for 45 minutes. This will make the cake very moist.
  • Meanwhile, make frosting: Cream butter and cream cheese until smooth. Beat in vanilla. Add confectioners sugar and beat on low speed until combined, then on high until frosting is smooth.
  • Spread frosting on cooled cake.
