Swingin Granny Beer Cake Recipe

Swingin Granny Beer Cake

From sparow64 17 years ago

A cross between Banana Bread and Banana Cake. A favorite at our house. Found this recipe online several years ago.

Cake
Cream together sugar, shortening and eggs.
Stir salt, soda, nutmeg, cloves, cinnamon and flour together in a separate bowl.
Add beer, bananas, dates, nuts and vanilla to creamed mixture.
Add dry ingredients last and mix well.
Pour batter into a greased and floured cake pan.
Bake at 350 degrees for about 45 minutes.
Test to be sure it's done.
Depending on the type of beer you use, it may need to bake up to 1 hour.
Icing
Mix all ingredients together for the icing.
Spread over the cake after it has cooled.

Oh, heck yeah! None of my grannies would try this, but my mom certainly would have.....I can see the leavening from the beer and banana making an awesome cake. This is rockin'. Love the spice combo and the date addition. Rates the high five from me. Toodles.
