Recipe for Banana Frosting

The Banana Frosting makes the Double Banana Cake even more delicious. It’s an easy recipe with ingredients you probably have.

First, mash a ripe banana in a bowl. Add cinnamon, vanilla, and a bit of lemon juice. In another bowl, beat butter until it’s soft. Slowly mix in the banana until it’s creamy.

Then, add powdered sugar a half cup at a time. Mix until you’ve used about 3 cups and it’s fluffy. If it’s too thick, more sugar will make it right.

This frosting works best for spreading. But if it’s too stiff, soften it in the microwave. Heat it for 10 seconds, stir, then repeat if needed.

When your cakes are cool, spread frosting on one layer. Add the second layer and frost the whole cake. You can decorate with coconut, pineapple, nuts, or anything else. Enjoy the amazing taste of bananas!
