Cómo preparar Lil's Banana Cake With Char's Chocolate Frosting
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
- In a large bowl, sift together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 ½ cups granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
- Add 1 cup shortening, 1 cup buttermilk, and 3 mashed ripe bananas to the dry ingredients.
- Beat at medium speed for 2 minutes using an electric mixer.
- Add 1 cup milk and 2 large eggs.
- Beat for another 2 minutes, until the batter is light and fluffy.
- Pour batter evenly into the prepared cake pans.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes before inverting them onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- While the cakes are cooling, prepare the frosting:
- In a large bowl, beat 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter until light and fluffy.
- Gradually add 3 cups powdered sugar, ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, and ¼ cup milk, beating on medium speed until smooth and creamy. Add more milk, 1 teaspoon at a time, if needed to reach desired consistency.
- Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Once the cakes are completely cool, frost the top of one layer generously. Top with the second cake layer and frost the entire cake, adding extra frosting to the middle as desired.
