Julia's Collections

When my mother passed away 20 years ago, my sisters and I had the not-so-fun job of going through her treasures. No one spoke for her recipe collections, so I grabbed them. You see, my mom was a fantastic cook. It seemed a shame to me to have those recipes go unclaimed! Well, here we are, 20 years later; and those recipes have rested in their special place on my closet shelf waiting to be tried . . . .

Banana Nut Cake

Confession: I ran out of nuts yesterday with the nut bread, so this banana nut cake was just banana cake. However, since some people don't like nuts anyway, I figure at least half of the people who ate this cake appreciated the fact that I ran out of nuts. I frosted it with my favorite - browned butter frosting. Yum! Well, it looked yum. I didn't taste it.

1/2 cup shortening
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
2 tsp. soda
4 tbsp. sour milk
2 cups flour
1/2 tsp. salt
3 bananas
1 cup nuts
Cream shortening and sugar. Add unbeaten eggs & beat well. Add mashed bananas. Add soda to milk & add to mixture. Add flour & nuts. Bake in a moderate oven 25 min.
