Banana, Banana, Banana Cake

I am always on the lookout for new recipes for ripe bananas. The girls love bananas, but I can't seem to find the right amount to buy. We either don't have enough, or we have lots of very ripe bananas. I tried this recipe today and took it to a play date. Everyone seemed to enjoy it, so hear it is.

1/2 c. butter
1 c. brown sugar (I used organic!)
1/2 c. milk
1 tsp vanilla
1 c. all-purpose flour
1/2 c. whole wheat flour
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1-2 very ripe bananas, mashed
1 tsp. lemon juice

2 Tbsp. butter, melted
1 tsp. vanilla
2 c. confectioners' sugar (about)
1/2 ripe banana
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp. lemon juice

Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.

In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar. Stir in the milk and vanilla. Combine the flours, baking soda and salt; stir into the sugar mixture. Mix in banana(s) and lemon juice. Spread evenly into the prepared pan.

Bake for 25 to 30 minutes in the preheated oven. Let cake cool in the pan on a wire rack.

To make the frosting: In a medium bowl, mix together the melted butter, vanilla, confectioners' sugar, 1/2 banana, salt and lemon juice. Mix until smooth. Spread over cooled bars.
