SEA FOAM FROSTING:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
----- --------------------- -----------------------------------------------
|
||
|
|
2 (1/4 cup) egg whites
|
||
|
|
1-1/2 cups (firmly packed) light brown sugar
|
||
|
|
1/8 tsp cream of tartar *
|
||
|
|
1/3 cup COCA-COLA
|
||
|
|
1 tsp vanilla extract
|
||
|
|
dash salt
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* you may substitute 1 tablespoon corn syrup.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
TO MAKE THE CAKE: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, baking soda,
|
||
|
|
and eggs. Measure the Coca-Cola, stir briskly until the foaming stops; add to
|
||
|
|
the batter. Blend ingredients just until moistened, then beat at high speed of
|
||
|
|
an electric mixer for 3 minutes, scraping the bowl often.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
In a bowl, combine the mashed bananas with the lemon juice; add to the batter.
|
||
|
|
Add the chopped nuts to the batter and beat for 1 minute at medium speed. Turn
|
||
|
|
the batter into a well-greased, lightly floured, 13x9x2-inch pan.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Bake in a preheated, 350 degree F oven for about 40 minutes or until the cake
|
||
|
|
tests done. Cool on a rack for 15 minutes, remove cake from pan and turn
|
||
|
|
right-side up on a rack to finish cooling.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
TO MAKE THE SEA FOAM FROSTING: In the top of a double boiler, combine all the
|
||
|
|
ingredients except the vanilla extract. Beat 1 minute at high speed of an
|
||
|
|
electric mixer. Place over boiling water (the water should not touch the bottom
|
||
|
|
of the top half of the double boiler.). Beat on high speed about 7 minutes
|
||
|
|
until the frosting forms peaks when the mixer is raised.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Remove from boiling water (for the smoothest frosting, empty into a large bowl).
|
||
|
|
Add the vanilla extract and continue beating on high speed until thick enough to
|
||
|
|
spread, about 2 minutes. Spread on the sides and top of the cold banana cake.
