Ingredients
12 servings
- •24 large marshmallows
- •1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- •¾ teaspoon salt
- •½ teaspoon baking soda
- •1 teaspoon baking powder
- •½ cup margarine, softened
- •1 ½ cups white sugar
- •2 eggs
- •1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- •½ cup buttermilk
- •1 cup chopped nuts (Optional)
- •1 cup mashed very ripe banana
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9x13 pan. Place marshmallows in a single, even layer in the bottom of the pan.
- Sift together flour, salt, baking soda, and baking powder. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream together the margarine and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla. By hand, stir in the flour mixture alternately with the buttermilk, mixing just until incorporated. Fold in nuts and bananas.
- Pour batter over marshmallows, making sure that marshmallows are covered, and that the batter reaches all sides of the pan.
- Bake on center rack of oven for 45 minutes. Marshmallows will rise to top and make a topping. The cake may look slightly underbaked because of the marshmallow topping. Allow the cake to cool before serving.
