Banana Cake

ingredients:
2 cups flour
1 1/2 cup sugar
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
3/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup ripe mashed bananas
1/2 cup buttermilk (i just put 1/2 cup regular milk mixed with 1/2 T vinegar let sit for 5 min)
1/2 cup shortening(i used 1/2 cup butter)
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla

Mix flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt....add bananas, buttermilk, shortening, eggs, and vanilla....beat on low til combined than beat on medium for 3 minutes
Bake 30-35 minutes in greased pan or in two round pans at 350 degrees.  I just used a white frosting with butter, milk, vanilla and powder sugar...but i'm sure it'd be good with a cream cheese frosting too.
