Ingredients:
  • 2 cups Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup butter or margarine, softened
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk
  • 1 cup mashed bananas (about 2 large)
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened baking cocoa
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup butter or margarine
  • 2 tablespoons light corn syrup
  • 1 to 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
Instructions:
  • Preheat oven to 350°F and generously grease a 13x9x2-inch rectangular pan with shortening. In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt; then set aside.
  • In a large bowl, cream 1 cup of sugar and 1 cup of butter with an electric mixer until fluffy, scraping the bowl occasionally. Mix in eggs and 1 teaspoon of vanilla. Slowly add flour mixture and buttermilk alternately until smooth. Gently fold in bananas. Transfer batter to pan.
  • Bake for 30-35 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool completely, for about 1 hour.
  • In a 2-quart saucepan over medium heat, combine 1 cup granulated sugar and cocoa. Add milk, 1/4 cup butter, and corn syrup. Bring to a boil, stirring continuously. Boil for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and stir in powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla until smooth. Spread the Fudge Frosting on the cooled cake.
