Stir together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in medium bowl.
Beat together sugar and shortening in large bowl until well combined. Beat
in eggs, mashed bananas and vanilla. Beat in flour mixture. Then beat in
buttermilk. Pour batter equally into two greased and floured 9inch round
cake pans. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 to 35 minutes. Cool completely.

Frost one cake with whipped cream frosting, and placed a single layer of
banana slices on top. Then place second cake on top, and frost entire cake.
Garnish with banana slices.

Tip: When making whipped cream frosting, I know that a lot of people don't
add sugar when whipping. From my experiences with this cake, I find that
while whipping the cream I like to add some granulated sugar to it to make
it a little more sweetit complements the cake better. Also: make sure that
your heavy cream is cold and you whip it until good peaks form, or else it
won't frost well.
