CHRISTO'S BANANA CREAM CUPCAKE

This is the best cupcake that you will ever taste.
The recipe is easy and the cakes are so moist that I don't have to use a banana pudding inside the cake which I tend to like in a cupcake.
Ingredients:
1/2 cup shortening (I use Crisco...Duh?)
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup mashed ripe bananas
1/4 cup buttermilk
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
Frosting:
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 1/2 cups confectioner's sugar
3 tablespoons milk
1 teaspoon banana extract

In a large mixing bowl, cream shortening and sugar. Add the eggs, vanilla, bananas and buttermilk. Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt; add to banana mixture. Fill paper lined cups two-thirds full.

Bake at 350 degrees F for 15 - 20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Remove to wire racks to cool completely. In a small mixing bowl, cream the butter, sugar, banana extract and enough milk to achive desired spreading consistency. Pipe out frosting any way you like.
ENJOY!!!

I am the sort of guy who loves to try recent things. Right now I am constructing my personalized solar panels. I am making it all by myself without the assistance of my staff. I'm using the internet as the only way to acheive that. I saw a really brilliant site that explains how to make photovoltaic panels and so on. The internet site explains all the steps required to solar panel construction.

I am not really sure bout how correct the information given there iz. If some people over here who had xp with these things can have a see and give your feedback in the site it will be grand and I'd highly value it, because I really enjoy solar panel construction.

Tnx for reading this. You people are great.
