How to Make Banana Cake And Old Fashioned Icing

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened butter, 1 ½ cups granulated sugar, 2 large eggs, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and ½ cup sour cream until light and fluffy.
  3. In a separate bowl, mash 3 ripe bananas. Add mashed bananas, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 2 cups all-purpose flour to the wet ingredients. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
  4. Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  5. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Let the cake cool completely in the pan before frosting.

  8. Add 3-4 cups powdered sugar gradually to the orange juice and butter mixture, beating with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Add more powdered sugar if needed to reach desired consistency.
  9. Once the cake is completely cool, frost generously with the orange icing.
