Banana Spicecake
The recipe is missing the liquid component. My 11-year-old niece made it. When she mixed it up we noticed it was the consistency of cookie dough so I quick mixed in some buttermilk until it looked like cake batter. It had to be at least a cup of buttermilk, maybe more. We baked it in a 9 x 13 pan and it wasn't terribly high but it was nice and moist and flavorful. In fact, the kids didn't want to wait for frosting, ate it plain and raved about it...and one of them is an extremely picky eater! One had the idea to top it with vanilla ice cream and I must say that was just the ticket.
