Oh So Yummy Banana Cake

Have a bunch of too-ripe bananas that nobody will eat? Don’t want to throw them out? Well, here’s a recipe that was supposed to be banana bread but somewhere along the line I made a mistake & it ended up a yummy banana cake. My youngest son declares it a winner! Feeds 8 – 10. Costs less than $10.

YOU’LL NEED:
• 3 ripe bananas, mashed
• 2 eggs
• 1/2 cup soft/melted shortening
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 1/4 cup milk
• 1/4 tsp. lemon juice
• 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tbsp. baking powder
• 1/2 tsp. salt

DIRECTIONS:
1. Combine bananas, eggs, shortening, sugar, milk, & lemon juice in one bowl. Use mixer on low speed until blended.
2. In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, & salt. Stir with a spoon.
3. Add flour mixture to banana mixture, mixing on low speed until blended.
4. Coat crock-pot with non-stick spray.
5. Pour batter into crock-pot.
6. Cover and cook on HIGH for 1 1/2 hours or until edges start to brown & a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
7. Turn off crock-pot & let cake cool for about 30 minutes before cutting into servings.
8. Serve warm or not.
9. Enjoy!
