Let them eat cake, my ass!

Monarchs would have never let the peasants get their dirty hands on this tasty morsel.  This was the remnants of two 3-layered banana cakes I made (leftover layers and frosting).  This may have been the best cake I have ever made.  Secret recipe follows;


Recipe

For cake;
1 box yellow cake mix
3 eggs
1/8 cup vegetable oil
1 cup water
2 cups mashed bananas (preferably brown)

For Frosting;
4 cups powdered sugar
1/2 cup butter (room temperature)
1/2 cup crisco
1 tsp vanilla
milk as needed for consistency

-Mix all cake ingredients
-Pour into two 8-9 inch cake pans (well greased and lined w/ parchment paper)
-Bake at 325 for 24-30 minutes (till firm center)
-Invert cakes immediately and cool before frosting

-Beat butter and shortening till smooth
-Add powdered sugar 1 cup at a time, beat till smooth
-Beat in vanilla and milk to desired consistency

-Frost as you wish, then eat the s#*t out of it!
