—————— TO MAKE THE CAKE: In a large mixing bowl, combine
the cake mix, baking soda and eggs. Measure the Coca-Cola, stir
briskly until the foaming stops; add to the batter. Blend
ingredients just until moistened, then beat at high speed of an
electric mixer for 3 minutes, scraping the bowl often. In a bowl,
combine the mashed bananas with the lemon juice;add to the batter.
Add the chopped nuts to the batter and beat for 1 minute at medium
speed. Turn the batter into a well greased, lightly floured 9″ X 13″
X 2″ baking disk. Bake in a preheated 350oF oven for about 40
minutes or until the cake tests done. Cool on a rack for 15 minutes,
remove cake from pan and turn right side up on a rack to finish
cooling. TO MAKE SEA FOAM FROSTING: In the top of a double boiler,
combine all of the ingredients, except the vanilla extract. Beat for
1 minute at high speed with an electric mixer. Place over boiling
water (the water should not touch the bottom of the top half of the
double boiler). Beat on high speed for about 7 minutes until the
frosting forms peaks when the mixer is raised. Remove from boiling
water (for the smoothest frosting, empty into a large bowl). Add the
vanilla extract and continue beating on high speed until thick enough
to spread, about 2 minutes. Spread on the sides and top of the cold
banana cake.
