Whole Wheat Banana Dream Cake

1/2 C. Butter (or beans)

1 C. brown sugar

1/2 c. sugar

2 eggs (2 T. dry egg powder + 1/4 C. water)

1 1/4 C. flour (I used whole wheat)

3/4 t. baking soda

1/2 t. baking powder

1/2 t. salt

3/4 C. oatmeal

1/3 C. butter milk (1 T. dry non-instant milk powder or 2 T. dry instant milk powder + 1/3 C. water + 1 t. vinegar or lemon juice)

1 C. mashed bananas (about 3)

Whole pecans

Cream butter and sugar. Add eggs. Beat well. Add dry ingredients alternately with buttermilk mix well. Blend oats bananas and nuts and add to batter. Pour batter into greased 9×13 pan. Bake at 350 for 35-40 minutes.

This is a thin snack cake. If you want to be thick like a regular cake, either double the recipe or put this sized recipe in a 8×8 pan.

Fresh Banana Frosting
1/4 C. butter
1/2 t. vanilla
1 T. lemon juice
2-3 small bananas
3/4 – 1 pkg (1 lb.) powdered sugar

Mix creamed butter with mashed bananas. Add enough sugar to make a nice spreading consistency. Then add vanilla and spread on cake.

{I didn’t use this frosting when I made it. I just topped it with some whipped cream and it was delicious!}
