Banana Cake .... she's back

Banana Cake with Cream Cheese & Whipped Cream Frosting

Found this recipe online... like I do most recipes.  This one from All-recipes.com called A number 1 Banana Cake.  I didn't have the buttermilk so I used regular milk with some white vinegar added to it.  For the frosting I had some made up whipped cream from the night before and I mixed 1 package of creme cheese with 3/4 c of brown sugar and 1 c of bakers sugar , then folded in the whipped cream.  I didn't measure very much, so I likely will never be able to repeat it.  But this one was a success.  

To celebrate.. today I bought a cake plate at Macy's.  It weighs a ton.  It's lead crystal and it's versatile too.  Use it as a cake plate, fruit bowl or chip and salsa dish. If only it fit into my refrigerator and I could lift it.
