Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1 18.5 oz pkg yellow cake mix*

1/8 teaspoon baking soda

2 eggs

3/4 cup Coca-Cola

1 cup bananas -- ripe & mashed

2 teaspoons lemon juice

1/3 cup finely chopped nuts -- (optional)

SEA FOAM FROSTING:

2 egg whites

1 1/2 cups light brown sugar -- firmly packed

1/8 teaspoon cream of tartar**

1/3 cup Coca-Cola

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

dash salt

 

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 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.
