Directions:
Preheat the oven to 300º. Mix together the bananas and lemon juice. In a different bowl mix the flour, cinnamon, baking soda and salt. In another large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar. Beat in each egg one at a time. Add the vanilla. Alternate adding the flour mixture and the buttermilk. Next, stir in the mashed bananas and lemon juice.
Pour the batter into two greased and floured 10" round cake pans. Bake for 70 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean. Flip cakes onto cooling racks and let cool completely before frosting.
Frosting:
Cream together the butter and cream cheese until fluffy. Add the vanilla. Add powdered sugar. Beat at low speed until mixed and then on high until smooth. Stack and frost the cakes and sprinkle chopped pecans on top.
Note: This cake freezes very well. Let cakes cool completely and then wrap tightly in saran wrap. After taking it out of the freezer, let the cakes come to room temperature before unwrapping and frosting.
