Banana Cake III

Ingredients

• 1 cup white sugar
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking soda
• 1/2 cup water
• 1 cup mashed bananas
• 1 pinch salt
• 1 cup mayonnaise
• 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese
• 1 cup butter, softened
• 4 cups confectioners’ sugar
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 3/4 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease two 9 inch round pans.

Combine sugar, flour, baking soda, water, mashed bananas, salt, and mayonnaise. Mix together, and pour into the cake pans.

Bake cake about 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove from oven, and cool on wire racks.

In a mixing bowl, blend cream cheese and butter or margarine together. Gradually add sugar and vanilla, and mix well. Stir in nuts. Fill and frost the cake.
