I've been wanting to try other banana cake recipes but I like this pretty well so I stick with it. It is from an older Betty Crocker Cook Book.
2 1/3 cups flour
1 2/3 cups sugar
1 1/4 cup mashed banana
2/3 cup margarine, butter or oil (I've used margarine most often and oil works well too)
2/3 cup buttermilk
3 eggs
1 1/4 tsp baking powder
1 1/4 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
2/3 cup chopped nuts - optional
Heat oven 350 degrees. Grease /flour 13 x 9 or 2 9" etc. Beat all ingredients in large mixer bowl on low speed 30 seconds, beat on high 3 min, scraping occasionally. Bake 45 - 50 minutes.
I tried Martha Stewarts and it was delicious.
