Recipe For Your Favorite Frosting - bjcotton - 05-23-2007
I want to frost a Banana cake and wondered if y'all would share your favorite frosting recipe with me...please
Re: Recipe For Your Favorite Frosting - SDRecipeGirl - 05-23-2007
Here is my very simple recipe that I use for my banana cake :
FROSTING:
1 stick butter, softened
8 oz package cream cheese, softened
1 box powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
To prepare frosting: Cream together butter and cream cheese. Add sugar and vanilla and continue beating until of spreading consistency. Frost when cake has completely cooled.

How much powdered sugar is in a box Lori? I've got a 2 lb bag.

Enjoy the board.

Here ya go SwissMiss, this is from one of my friend's Grandma. It is excellent. The recipe calls for frosting the cake, but I never have. It is so moist and tasty it rarely lasts long enough to cool, much less frost:

My recipe is identical to yours, except it calls for 2 teaspoons of vanilla instead of one.
I think the key to good banana cake, bars, bread... is to use VERY ripe bananas with completely blackened skins.

Sorry about that- a box of powdered sugar = 1 pound.
