Aunty Anna's Banana Cake:

A favorite of the Fabe Family

From Brenda Adler

Mix together:

2 sticks of unsalted butter

1 1/2 cups sugar

2 eggs

1 tsp vanilla

1/2 pint sour cream (1 cup)

2 large ripe bananas

2 1/2 cups flour

1 tsp baking powder

1 tsp baking soda

Sift Dry ingredients together and then mix into wet ingredients.

Place in buttered and floured pan.

Bake at 350 degrees for 35 to 45 minutes

Icing:

In double boiler or microwave, mix:

§  bittersweet chocolate

§  butter

§  almond extract

Anna never gave us amounts for the icing, but I would start off with one bar of chocolate, 1/4 stick of butter and a half teaspoon of extract.  Once these are mixed, add powdered sugar until the icing is thick enough.  Brenda Fabe
