I found this recipe about 5 years ago and have been making it for family gatherings ever since. The coffee-flavored frosting complements the moist banana cake.

Ingredients

1/2 cup butter, softened
1 cup sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1-1/2 cups mashed ripe bananas (about 3 medium)

COFFEE FROSTING:
1/3 cup butter, softened
2-1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
