Banana Frosting
"An old recipe of my grandmother's; my mother and grandfather love it on spice cake. Grandma's recipe card says that this frosting is similar to a banana-frosted spice cake A&P used to sell back in the very early 70s."

I used maragirine instead of butter and it came out runny. Is that the reason it is runny cause I didn't use butter? This is the recipe my grandmother use and it never turned out like this.

Yummy!!! Based on other reviews, I used two smallish bananas that were very, very ripe. It had an awesome banana flavor, and as other reviewers mentioned, it was quite fluffy - so not a hard type of frosting at all. I used it to frost Brownies by chef Tweetygrams (my favorite brownie recipe on this site!). Oh, and I made the recipe as stated, but took half and added cream cheese and a bit more powdered sugar. WOW! Both versions were absolute keepers. Thanks for posting! -
A nice flavor. I used to frost Recipe #152894. Next time I might try adding some cream cheese to the frosting. Thank you for the recipe. -
Delicious! Fluffy, great texture and, unexpected bonus, it freezes beautifully. Thanks, Girl! -
We thought the flavor of this frosting was very good. It was also very fluffy. Thanks for posting. -
An excellent frosting that I used on PaulaG's Apricot Banana Squares! I had no bananas left but, based on other comments, I added a tsp of banana flavouring. Thanx JD's Girl!
