Polish Style Chocolate Cake

Ingredients

• 3/4 cup butter
• 1/4 cup shortening
• 2 cups white sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
• 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 3/4 cups milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 (8 ounce) container frozen whipped topping, thawed
• 3 bananas

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9×13 inch pan. Sift together the flour, cocoa, baking soda and baking powder. Set aside.

In a large bowl, cream together the butter, shortening and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well with each addition, then add the vanilla. Add the flour mixture alternately with the milk. Mix to combine.

Pour batter into a 9×13 inch pan. Bake for 30 minutes in the preheated oven, or until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean. Allow to cool.

Spread whipped topping over cooled cake and place sliced bananas on top. Store in refrigerator.
