    I made this, using 1/2 cup butter-flavored crisco and 1/4 c. butter... cut the sugar back to 2 cups and baked it @ 325 for an hour. I did not use the "freezer method", as banana cake is already very moist, but the cake is absolutely wonderful. For the frosting, I cut the butter back to 1/4 cup... and in the end garnished it w/ chopped walnuts (as in the picture here). The buttermilk makes the cake... don't even consider substituting!
