how to make banana cake

==Ingredients ==

• 1 1/2 cups sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1 cup mashed bananas (about 4-5 bananas)
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 2 cups cake flour
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1 cup chopped walnuts
• 1 cup of mixed sultanas (optional)

1. Preheat oven to 350ºF.
2. In one bowl, mix together 1/2 cup of Crisco, 1 and 1/2 cups of sugar, and 2 beaten eggs.
3. Add the following ingredients: one cup mashed bananas, 1 cup milk, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla.
4. In a different bowl, sift together 2 cups of flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Gradually add all of this to Step 2.
5. Grease two 8 inch round cake pans with butter and flour.
6. Fill both pans equally with batter; make sure it is level and without air pockets.
7. Bake cake for 35 minutes, or until golden brown.

1. In a sauce pan, add 1 cup of milk and 3 level tablespoons of flour and 1/4 cup of sugar.
2. Bring to boil over low-medium heat.
3. Stir until smooth.
4. Cool completely.
5. Cream together 1/2 cup sugar and 1/2 cup of Crisco.
6. Add teaspoon of vanilla.
7. When flour/milk mixture is cool, mix together at high speed until creamy. At first may appear curdled but will clear up as it is beaten.

Warnings

• Over mixing will result in the cake not rising.
• Icing the cake while the cake is warm will cause the icing to run or cause the cake to fall apart.
• If the flour and milk mixture isn’t stirred constantly, it will get lumpy very quickly.
