I had a friend ask me for my banana cake recipe and I told her to find it on my blog, and it was not here, so I decided I better hurry and post it as I dont want any of you to miss out on this yummy cake. We served this cake and texas sheet cake for my daughters wedding a while back, yes, it's that good! I got it from my friend Lynette McKenzie while we served as VT's in Sandridge Ward!
Banana Sheet Cake (My favorite one from Lynette)
2 cups sugar
1 cup oil
4 eggs
4 smashed bananas
1 cup sour cream
2 tsp vanilla
3 cups flour
2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
Mix first 6 ingredients together until well mixed. Add rest of ingredients. Mix well. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 min in jelly roll pan (the big long cookie sheets). You can add nuts, raisins or chocolate chips.
Frost with either a buttercream icing or cream cheese frosting, whichever you prefer!
And for the nourishing of the souls:
I just spent the past few weeks studying up for a class I got to teach on "We do not doubt our mothers knew it"(Alma 56:48)
If you read in Alma 53 to Alma 56, you will learn of the 2000 stripling warriors. They were noble young men who fought for their fathers who could not. They had never fought before. They did not fear death. When Helaman asked them why they did not fear, they said their mothers taught them that God would protect them, and they had faith that they would be preserved. They did not doubt, because their mothers knew it! It is a wonderful tribute to mothers, that we are powerful influences in our childrens lives.
They believed in the atonement. If there was one thing we could teach our children, it should be the gift of the atonement.
May each of you who are mothers realize how powerful you are. Our children watch what we do more than listen to what we say!
motherhood is awesome! enjoy your day with your children!
