Banana Sheet Cake Recipe

Prep time: 20 minutes
Cook time: 20 minutes

Here's a tip, leave the cream cheese and butter for the frosting out while you make the cake, that way they will be softened by the time the cake is cooled and ready to frost. This cake is on the sweet side (it is a cake after all). If you are trying to cut sugars, you may want to experiment dropping the sugar in the cake mixture by a half cup and cutting the amount of frosting in half.

Ingredients for cake:

2 cups all purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter

1 cup white granulated sugar

1/2 cup brown sugar

2 eggs

The scraped insides of one vanilla bean, or 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract

1 cup of mashed ripe bananas (2 large or 3 medium bananas)

1/2 cup full fat sour cream

Ingredients for frosting:

6 ounces cream cheese, room temp

4 Tbsp (1/4 cup) unsalted butter, room temp

2 cups powdered sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon lemon juice

Method

1 Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.

2 Beat together in a mixer the butter and sugars. Beat in the eggs one at a time. Mix in the vanilla and mashed bananas.

3 Mix in half of the flour mixture, then the sour cream, then the other half of the flour mixture.

4 Spread batter evenly in a greased 10x15 baking pan. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 20 minutes, or until nicely browned and the surface bounces back when you press it with your finger. Cool completely before frosting.

5 To make the frosting, mix all of the ingredients together with an electric mixer. If too stiff to spread, add a teaspoon or two of water. Spread the frosting evenly over the cake and slice to serve.

Yield: Makes 30 pieces.

Southern Cornbread Recipe

• Prep time: 15 minutes
• Cook time: 20 minutes

White cornmeal is used in most Southern cornbread's, but we could not find any here in California, so we used yellow cornmeal. If you can find white cornmeal, by all means use it.

Ingredients

• 2 cups cornmeal OR 1 1/2 cups cornmeal and 1/2 cup flour
• 2 teaspoons baking soda
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 Tbsp sugar (optional)
• 1 1/4 cups buttermilk
• 1 egg (optional)
• 6 Tbsp unsalted butter, melted
• 1 Tbsp bacon drippings

Method

1 Put the bacon fat in a 9 or 10-inch cast iron skillet and put the skillet into the oven. Then preheat the oven to 400° with the skillet inside. (If you don't have an iron skillet, you can use an uncovered Dutch oven or a metal cake pan.)
2 Whisk together all the dry ingredients in a large bowl. In another bowl, beat the egg and buttermilk until combined, then mix that into the bowl of dry ingredients. Stir in the melted butter.


3 When the oven is hot, take out the skillet (carefully, as the handle will be hot!). Add the cornbread batter and make sure it is evenly distributed in the skillet. Bake for about 20 minutes, or until the edges are beginning to brown and a toothpick inserted in the center of the bread comes out clean.
4 Let the bread rest for 10-30 minutes in the skillet before cutting it into wedges and serving.
To avoid burning your hand because you've forgotten the pan is hot, I recommend placing a pot holder on the pan's handle while the cornbread is resting, or cooling the handle down a bit with an ice cube.
Yield: Makes 8 servings.
