Banana Cake

This recipe is different from the Nana-Sour Cream Bars.  I also got this from Cliss.

1/2 cup butter
2 cups sugar
3 eggs
1 1/2 cups (3) ripe mashed bananas
1 tsp. vanilla

2 cups flour
1 tsp. baking soda
pinch salt

Mix first five (wet) ingredients together.  Then mix in the last few dry ingredients.  Pour into a jellyroll pan (15 x 10 x 1) and bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes.  Until it is brown on top.

Frosting

1/2 cup butter
1 package cream cheese
4 cups powdered sugar
2 tsp. vanilla

Mix ingredients.  Frost cake while it is still warm but not hot so it can cool smoothly on the cake.

Texas Sheet Cake

 I got this recipe from Cliss. 

In a small saucepan melt:
2 cubes margarine or butter
3 Tbsp. cocoa
1 cup water
1 tsp. vanilla

In a mixing bowl, mix:
1/2 cup buttermilk (or 1/2 milk and 1 tsp. vinegar)
1 Tbsp. vinegar
2 eggs
1 tsp. baking soda

Add saucepan mix, then add:
2 cups flour
2 cups sugar
1 tsp. salt

Pour into greased cookie sheet and bake at 350 degrees for 18 - 25 minutes.

Frosting

1 cube butter or margarine
3 Tbsp. cocoa
5 Tbsp. milk
1 tsp. vanilla
1 lb. powdered sugar (about 4 cups)

Mix and frost while cake is warm, but not hot, so the frosting cools down as a smooth glaze.

Strawberry Sheet Cake

I have been collecting sheet cake recipes for a wedding luncheon.  There are three different cake recipes.

--Prepare a white or yellow cake mix as directed on the box. It can be
prepared in a 13x9" pan or in a jelly roll pan. (We usually do the jelly
roll pan so that it will serve more people). Once the cake has cooled
completely, mix the following:

3 cups powdered sugar
1 8 oz. package cream cheese (softened)

Mix these two together until smooth, then add one 8 oz. carton of Cool
Whip. Spread out evenly on the cake, then try to build up a small ridge
around the edge of the cake to help hold on the strawberries.

Mix up 1 package of Strawberry Danish Dessert and add fresh strawberries.
Spread carefully on top of the cream cheese layer and refrigerate.
