* 1 3/4 cups flour
* 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
* 1/4 teaspoon salt
* 2 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
* 1 1/4 cups sugar
* 1/2 cup butter, softened
* 1/4 cup buttermilk
* 1 1/4 cups mashed ripe bananas
* 2 large eggs
Frosting
* 1 lb confectioners' sugar
* 6 tablespoons butter, softened
* 2 tablespoons light cream
* 1 tablespoon light corn syrup
* 1/2 cup ripe banana, mashed
* For cake, preheat oven to 350°F.
* Measure flour, soda, salt, baking powder and sugar into mixing bowl.
* Add softened butter and mix at medium speed of electric mixer until the
mixture is a "mealy" consistency.
* Add buttermilk and mashed banana gradually and mix for four minutes; your
mixture should be light and fluffy.
* Scrape the mixture from the sides of the bowl and add eggs in two additions,
beating after each addition of egg.
* Pour into two greased and floured 9 inch cake pans and bake at 350° for
about 25 minutes (cake should be golden brown).
* Remove layers from pan and cool completely, then chill layers before you
frost the cake (the icing is thin and it WILL RUN if cake is not cold!).
* For frosting, cream butter and sugar together and slowly add the cream.
* Add the mashed banana gradually, continuing to beat as you add it.
* Add corn syrup and mix enough to blend well (corn syrup will help the thin
frosting to "set").
