I made this just last night and this cake is very moist and has a beautiful color-and it taste great!
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups shortening
2 cups sugar
4 large eggs
2 cups mashed ripe bananas
1/3 cup buttermilk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/4 teaspoons baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup chopped pecans
Directions:
1. Beat the shortening at medium speed for 2 minutes or until creamy.
2. Gradually add the sugar, beating 5 to 7 minutes.
3. Add the eggs one at a time, beating just until the yellow disappears.
4. Combine the bananas, buttermilk and vanilla in a medium bowl.
5. Combine the flour, baking soda and salt together.
6. Add the flour mixture to the shorting mixture, alternating with the buttermilk mixture, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Mix at low speed after each addition just until blended.
7. Stir in the pecans and spoon the batter into the greased and floured 10-inch tube pan.
8. Bake at 350°F for 1 1/2 hours or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pan for 15 minutes then remove and cool completely on wire rack.
