Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°.
  2. Grease and flour two 8" round pans.
  3. In a small bowl whisk together flour, soda, and salt.
  4. In a large bowl, cream butter, white sugar and brown sugar until fluffy.
  5. Beat in eggs one at a time.
  6. Mix in bananas*.
  7. Add flour mixture alternately with the buttermilk to the creamed mixture.
  8. Pour into cake pans.
  9. Bake for 30 minutes.
  10. While the cake is baking, make frosting: beat butter and cream cheese until smooth, then add powdered sugar and Bourbon- if the amount of booze scares you, add less, or use bourbon flavoring.
  11. *Wefreeze overripe bananas- when it's time to use them, we place them in a cup of hot water for just a few minutes, and they slide right out of their peel.
  12. Once the cakes cool, frost them- the cake (stacked) is pretty heavy and dense, so don't expect a tall fluffy cake.
  13. Stays moist for days if covered properly.
