Prep. Time:    
Ingredients:

1/2 cup shortening
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 cup mashed ripe bananas(2-3 medium)
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups all-purpose flour or whole wheat
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup chopped nuts

Frosting:

1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup butter or margarine
6 tablespoons milk
2 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar -- (2 1/2 to 3 cups)

Directions:
  1. Cream shortening and sugars. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each one. Beat in bananas and vanilla. Combine flour, baking soda and salt; add to creamed mixture alternately with buttermilk. Stir in nuts.

  2. Pour into greased 9x13" pan. Bake at 350 F for 25-30 minutes. Until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool on wire rack.

  3. For frosting, combine brown sugar, butter and milk in a saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat; boil and stir for 2 minutes. Remove from heat; cool to luke warm. Gradually beat in sugar until frosting reaches spreading consistency. Frost the cake

  4. Poster's Notes: The recipe calls for shortening, which makes the cake moister and heavier. I have used butter or margarine too. It just seems to get the best results from the shortening. But the ingredients are basically staples, which is great and small amounts too, but you get a full size cake. I don't use the frosting recipe that came with it anymore, I either do a quick cream cheese or just a butter cream. And for the buttermilk, if I don't have it, I sour the milk with lemon juice, or vinegar. I poor about a teaspoon in the the bottom of the measuring cup and then fill with milk to the half cup mark.

  5. Stacy's Notes: We really like this! I use the butter flavored Crisco shortening in a stick form, and also use buttermilk and nuts. I have done the brown sugar frosting, which we like, but I like a regular cream cheese frosting better.
