Rhea Lou's Old Fashion Banana Cake and Cream Cheese Frosting

Don't throw out those over-ripe bananas!  Use them to make this delicious banana walnut cake.  This old recipe is from an old Iowa church cookbook, I believe.  I found this recipe in a collection of recipes I purchased on ebay.  This banana cake will remind you of going to grandma's house, family reunions, church pitch-ins, etc.  Remember those tables laden with mouth-watering desserts?  This cake could have been on one of those tables.  Bake one today and share it with your family and friends.  Each bite is sure to bring memories.

RHEA LOU'S BANANA CAKE

This recipe was found in an old church cookbook.

1/2 cup shortening
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 large eggs
2 cups flour
1/4 tsp baking powder
3/4 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1/4 cup buttermilk
4 ripe bananas
1/2 cup chopped walnuts

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

In a large mixing bowl, cream shortening and sugar together. Add eggs to mixture and mix until creamy. Mash bananas with a fork and add to the creamy mixture. Add buttermilk and mix well. Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add to the creamy mixture, beating well after each addition. Stir in chopped walnuts. Grease and lightly flour a 13 x 9 x 2-inch baking pan. Pour batter into prepared pan and bake at 350 degrees for 35 to 40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

How to Make Old Fashion Appetizers for Your Next Party

Take a step back in time with these old fashion appetizer recipes.  Great for any party but would be especially fitting for a 50s or 50s themed party.  Bring out the music from the 50s and 60s, serve Appetizer Cheesecake, Braunschweiger Ball, and/or Old Fashion Cucumber Dip and party on!

APPETIZER CHEESECAKE

This recipe is from the mother of children I went to school with in the 1950s.

2 cups sour cream
1/2 cup green pepper
1/2 cup celery
1/4 cup olives
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
2 tsps lemon juice
5 drops hot pepper sauce
1 cup cracker crumbs

Finely chop the green pepper, celery, and olives and mix with the sour cream, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice and hot pepper sauce. Line a 4-cup bowl with clear plastic wrap. Spread 1/2 cup of the sour cream mixture in the bottom of the bowl. Layer with half of the cracker crumbs, then 1 cup of the sour cream mixture, 1/2 cup of the crumbs, then the remaining sour cream mixture. Cover and chill for 24 hours. Unmold onto a serving platter; remove the plastic wrap. Top with the remaining cracker crumbs. Serve with fresh vegetables and assorted crackers.

BRAUNSCHWEIGER BALL

This is an old Southern Indiana recipe.

1 lb braunschweiger
1 pkg (8-oz) cream cheese
milk, as needed
1/2 tbsp chili sauce
1 onion, minced
dash of garlic salt
Chopped pecans, optional
Chopped olives, optional

Mix together the braunschweiger, chili sauce, onion, and garlic salt; being sure it is mixed well. Form mixture into a ball and chill. Add enough milk to the cream cheese to make a consistency similar to frosting. Spread the cream cheese over the braunschweiger ball. Roll the ball in crushed pecans or chopped olives.

OLD FASHION CUCUMBER DIP

This recipe is from an old country cookbook.

1/2 large cucumber, peeled
1/4 onion
8-oz pkg cream cheese
1 tbsp mayonnaise
1/2 tsp garlic powder

Blend the cucumber and onion together in an electric blender; drain well. Mix the cream cheese, mayonnaise, and garlic powder together in blender and add well drained cucumber and onion mixture. Serve with your choice of chips, crackers, or fresh veggies.

Enjoy!
