Banana Cake

We had this at our stake Relief Society meeting over the weekend....it's really good!  I baked mine for 35 minutes and it was a tad too long but of course every oven is different so just keep an eye on it. :)
When cooling the frosting, just let it cool until it starts to thicken...you don't want it so hot that it just soaks into the cake but not so cool that it's hard to spread. :)

Banana Cake

1/2 C. butter
1/2 C. brown sugar
1/2 C. sugar
2 eggs, separated
1 C. mashed bananas
1 tsp. vanilla
1/2 C. milk
1 3/4 C. flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. baking powder
pinch of salt

Cream butter & sugars.  Add egg yolks, mashed bananas, vanilla and milk; mix well.  Add flour, baking soda, baking powder & salt and mix well.  In a separate bowl, beat egg whites until white, but no peaks.  Fold egg whites into batter.  Pour into greased 9x13 pan.  Bake at 350° for 35-40 minutes.  (DO NOT double baking soda or baking powder when doubling recipe.)

Chocolate Frosting
1 C. sugar
1/4 C. butter
1/4 C. cocoa
1/4 C. milk or cream
1 tsp. vanilla

In medium saucepan, bring all ingredients to a boil & boil for 1 minute.  Remove from heat, stir well, cool slightly & spread on cake.  If needed, add 1 tsp milk to thin frosting before spreading.
