Hello sweet friends!
I say vintage Banana Cake recipe, caz it is!
See, my best friend Stephanie inherited from her aunt a baking book from the 1950's and believe me, all the recipes from that book are by far the best I have ever tried.
I copied and bonded the book, because there was no Amazon then, so I guess you can look for it there, I recommend it, as they might be used and inexpensive on sale now.
All the recipes from this book are always the best cakes, ever.
I like to bake knowing that it'll come out perfect and simply delish!
The book's title is: "The Southern Heritage CAKES Cookbook."
The recipe for this classic, banana cake is at the end of this post.

| I fixed a setting for tea on the antique heirloom English buffet. |

| I decided to use some of my reticulated pieces for tea. |
 |
| The Banana Cake was baked on a pretty Nordic Ware loaf pan with bananas... so cute! |
 |
| I love the Nordic Ware pans cause they come in so many adorable etchings, as this one with banana trees and bananas as well. |

| The vintage German urn is one of my favorite pieces I received for a MD's from Alejandro a few years ago, as he bought it because it was hand painted in such lovely flowers. My Mr. Living posses' the 'know how' on 'ceramics and porcelains.' |

Jody and Stan from "SIMPLE AND SWEET FRIDAYS" http://rootedinthyme.blogspot.com LOVE, FABBY BANANA-NUT CAKE 1/2 cup shortening 1 cup sugar 2 eggs 2 cups mashed ripe bananas 2 cups all-purpose flour 1 tsp. baking powder 1 tsp. baking soda 1/2 tsp. salt 1 cup chopped pecans, or other nut Cream shortening, gradually add sugar, beating well. Add eggs one at a time. Add bananas and mix until smooth. Combine flour, bp, bs and salt; add to creamed mixture, stirring just until moistened. Stir in chopped pecans. Pour batter into a greased and floured loaf pan, 9x5x3. (You have to reserve 1 cup if you want to use this Nordic pan, because is not as deep as the above size pan). Bake at 350F for 1 hour it says on the book, but it just took mine 50 min. on my electric oven. Cool in pan 10 min. Remove cake on wire rack to complete cooling.
