The Settlement Cookbook Banana Cake

½ cup butter, softened
1 ¼ cups sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon baking soda
4 tablespoons sour cream
1 cup banana pulp, mashed
1 ½ cups pastry (cake) flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla

Preheat oven to 350 F. Cream butter and sugar. Add eggs, beaten very lightly, and the baking soda, dissolved in the sour cream. Beat well; then add the banana pulp, pastry flour, salt and vanilla. Mix well.
 
Bake in a well-buttered oblong pan for about 40 minutes. Frost with Lemon-Butter or Coffee Frosting (recipes follow). Makes 10 servings.

Lemon-Butter Frosting: Cream 2 tablespoons butter and 1 cup powdered sugar. Add 1 tablespoon lemon juice, a little grated rind, and 1 tablespoon milk or water until frosting is of a spreading consistency. Makes 1 cup.

 Coffee Frosting: Cream 2 tablespoons butter and 1 cup powdered sugar. Stir in 2 tablespoons strong, hot coffee, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla and 1 teaspoon cocoa powder. Add water as needed to make frosting of a spreading consistency. Makes 1 cup.

Note: This cake is so moist, you can easily serve it without frosting.
