Sunday's Plate - Banana Cake

OK, guys, this is the absolute best cake on the planet. I got it from Jackie Knights about twenty-five years ago, and there is no cake that tops this one. Make it and enjoy.

3/4 cup butter
1.5 cups sugar
1 cup mashed bananas
1/2 cup buttermilk
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 eggs
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups flour
1 teaspoon soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup chopped nuts
1 cup flaked coconut


Cream shorting and sugar and add eggs. Beat three minutes. Add bananas and beat another two minutes. Add the rest of the ingredients and beat two minutes more.

Bake at 350 for about 25-30 minutes.

Frost with butter cream frosting laced with maple flavoring.

To die for.
