You'll love the banana flavor throughout this moist, fudgy cake and fluffy frosting from Jan Gregory of Bethel, Ohio. This recipe was given to me by my mother-in-law. It's a favorite at family gatherings, Jan reports. Ingredients:
1 package chocolate fudge cake mix (regular size) |
1 large ripe banana, mashed |
frosting: |
1/2 cup butter, cubed |
1/4 cup water |
5-1/2 cups confectioners' sugar, divided |
1/4 cup baking cocoa |
1 small ripe banana, mashed |
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, prepare cake mix according to package directions, omitting 1/4 cup of the water. Beat on low speed until moistened. Add banana; beat on high for 2 minutes.
2. Pour into a greased 13x9-in. baking pan. Bake at 350° for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool completely.
3. In a large saucepan, add butter and water. Cook over medium heat until butter is melted; stir until combined and set aside.
4. In a large bowl, combine 4 cups confectioners' sugar and cocoa. Add the butter mixture, banana and vanilla; beat until smooth. Add enough remaining sugar until frosting reaches desired spreading consistency. Frost the cake. Yield: 12-15 servings.
