Banana Cake(By Mrs. Edmund G. Brown, Former First Lady Of California) - cooking recipe

Ingredients

3 medium fully ripe bananas (1.5 c.)
1 c. walnuts (I leave out)
3/4 c. buttermilk
2 egg whites
2 egg yolks
2 c. all-purpose flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 c. butter
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1.5 c. sugar (I use fructose)

Preparation

Sift flour, baking powder and baking soda together; set aside. Cream butter with extract; gradually add fructose, creaming thoroughly.
Add egg yolks, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Sieve bananas and mix with buttermilk.
Beating only until smooth after each addition, mix the creamed butter extract, 1/4 dry ingredients and 1/3 of the banana mixture; repeat 1/4 dry and 1/3 banana until all is mixed, then stir in optional walnuts. Fold in the beaten egg whites gently into the batter until thoroughly blended.
Turn batter into 2 prepared (vegetable grease and flour) pans; spread evenly to edges.
Bake at 350\u00b0 for 25 to 30 minutes or until cake tests done.
Cool on wire racks and frost with a buttercream frosting (I don't frost; after cooling I place in the refrigerator 3 to 4 hours or overnight, it's best served cold).
