Banana Cake

I found this recipe in Mother’s file. The typed copy came from her Aunt Oral, her mother’s sister. The recipe does not include frosting, but my sister and I are pretty sure our great aunt made this cake with a brown sugar frosting.

Year after year, Kate and I worried as this cake was passed around at the Frase family reunion. Would there be any left for us? We didn’t need to worry- Aunt Oral always saved us a piece.

This is the first three layer cake I have ever attempted! In truth, I skimped on the sugar and it was still very sweet.
