3/4 cup packed brown sugar |
1/2 cup sugar |

1 teaspoon baking soda |
1 teaspoon salt |
1/2 cup buttermilk |
1/2 cup chopped nuts |
1/2 cup packed brown sugar |
1/4 cup butter or 1/4 cup margarine |
6 tablespoons milk |
2 1/2-3 cups confectioners' sugar |
Directions:
1. In a mixing bowl, cream the shortening and sugars. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
2. Beat in bananas and vanilla.
3. Combine flour, baking soda and salt; add to the creamed mixture alternately with buttermilk. Stir in nuts.
4. Pour into a greased 13x9x2-inch baking pan.
5. Bake 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.
6. Cool on a wire rack.
