picture-or-video-1267.jpgWe’re on the tip of the heel of the boot of Italy, which really means that I don’t have a clue. It’s been a weird last couple of days since we left Croatia, lots of traveling, and lots more to come, as we leave for Sicily at 3 a.m. I am posting a recipe for Banana Cake mainly because I only have one copy, and I have almost lost it countless times. It was given to Corli from another yacht chef, and she received it from someone else, so it has taken on the name ‘The Traveling Banana Cake’. It is a great way to use old bananas, and always gets a request for the recipe. The picture is of Croatia.

Traveling Banana Cake

One Cake

4 oz. butter

1 cup sugar

1 1/2 cup flour

1 egg

1 tsp. baking soda

1 tsp. baking powder

2 mashed banans, very ripe

6 Tbsp. milk

Cream the butter and sugar in a mixer and add banana’s. Add egg, and then dry ingredients, then the milk. Pour batter in a buttered 9 inch pan and bake at 350 degrees for 35 minutes. Cool on a rack, and frost with this icing:

3 packages cream cheese, softened

1 vanilla bean, scraped

1 cup powder sugar
