3 Eggs, separated
4 Ripe bananas, mashed (the

I have a recipe for Banana Nut CAKE, but without the icing, it makes a
really moist "bread", I guess! I eat it for breakfast, but I don't think
you'd be able to toast it or anything like that! This recipe is an old
one...I got it from Mom who got it from her mom...

Cream sugar and oleo. Add egg yolks and bananas. Alternate dry ingredients
and buttermilk. Add nuts. Beat egg whites until real stiff and add to
batter. Pour in greased, floured pan. Bake at 300F for approximately 1
hour.

Brown Sugar Icing: Stir all ingredients except vanilla over low heat until
wellblended. Stir over high heat until mixture boils. Cook one minute.
Remove from heat and beat until cool and of spreading consistency. Add
vanilla. Frost cool cake.
