If you can see the bananas in the cooked frosting, I would think the
fruit was added after the frosting was made otherwise I imagine it
would not be very visible. The banana is soft and I would think the
fruit would cook down too much to be seen in the frosting.
Anyway if I'm right, then you would add the fruit to the frosting
when the frosting has reached spreading consistency. Maybe sprinkle
the fruit with lemon juice to prevent browning before folding the
fruit into the frosting.
Cake Banana Nut with Caramel Frosting
1/2 cup butter
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 cup mashed ripe banana (about 2 small to medium bananas)
3 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp lemon extract
1/2 cup finely chopped walnuts or pecans
2 cups sifted cake flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup soured milk or buttermilk
Caramel Frosting
2 cups dark brown sugar, firmly packed
6 Tbs butter
dash salt
1/2 cup milk
2 cups sifted powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
1 In a large mixing bowl cream butter and sugar. Add mashed bananas;
beat well with electric mixer 1 minute. Add eggs, one at a time,
beating well after each addition. Add flavorings and chopped walnuts
or pecans. Sift together the sifted cake flour, baking powder, soda
and salt; beat into creamed mixture alternately with buttermilk,
beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Beat for 2 minutes on
medium speed of electric mixer. Pour batter into 2 buttered and
floured (or butter and line bottom with waxed paper) 8-inch square
cake pans. Bake at 350° for 25 to 30 minutes or until cake tests
done. Cool on wire racks for 10 minutes; remove from pans and cool
thoroughly on racks.
2 Caramel Frosting: In a saucepan, combine brown sugar, butter, salt,

frequently. Remove from heat; let stand 8 to 10 minutes. Gradually
beat in powdered sugar with electric mixer. Continue beating until
