Banana Cake with Coffee Frosting

This recipe is SO yummy! I found it on www.tasteofhome.com

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup butter, softened
• 1 cup sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1-1/2 cups mashed ripe bananas (about 3 medium)
• 1 cup (8 ounces) sour cream
• COFFEE FROSTING:
• 1/3 cup butter, softened
• 2-1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
• 2 teaspoons instant coffee granules
• 2 to 3 tablespoons milk

Directions

In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add

eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in

vanilla. Combine the flour, baking soda and salt; add to creamed

mixture alternately with bananas and sour cream, beating well after

each addition.

 

Pour into a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish. Bake at 350° for

35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes

out clean. Cool completely on a wire rack.

 

 

For frosting, in a small bowl, beat butter and confectioners' sugar until smooth. Dissolve coffee granules in milk; add to butter mixture and beat until smooth. Spread over cake.

 

 

I've started a written recipe book to hand down to my kids. I always love things I find in my Grandparents handwriting. So I decided that I needed to make sure my kids have my favorite recipes in my handwriting. :) Hopefully someone will appreciate it someday. haha.
