Banana Pound Cake
by Nikki Willhite

Description: Easy Banana Pound Cake recipe your family will love.

Yes, I know. Pound cake mixes are very expensive. I do buy them on sale, however, because they are so quick and easy, and taste so good.

Here is a way to make them even more special.

Ingredients:

1 pound cake mix
1 cup mashed bananas
2 eggs
1/2 cup chopped nuts (if desired)

Preheat your oven to 325 degrees. Do not follow package directions. Combine mix, bananas and eggs, and beat for 3 minutes. Fold in nuts if desired.

Cook in a 9-inch loaf pan (greased and floured) for 1 1/4 hours, or until cake is golden brown and springs back lightly when touched on top. Cool for 30 minutes on a wire rack (cover with towel).

As with any cake, you can slice it and top it with chocolate, whip cream, powdered sugar, strawberries, ice cream, etc. for a special desert. Our favorite way is to use it for strawberry shortcake.
