Tomorrow is Ostara or the spring equinox. A time when light and dark both hold equal space. Each day after the light wins. To celebrate this beautiful day Strawberry Banana Buttermilk Cake 🍓🍌 it’s moist, fluffy, and positively EASY! Just a few ingredients and a sturdy spatula and you’ve got a delicious cake! Don’t forget to leave a piece out for the Fairies! 🧚🏻 

2 cups all purpose flour 
1 1/4 cup sugar
3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup smashed banana
1/2 diced strawberries
1 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup melted butter 

Preheat oven to 350° F. Grease an 8x8 pan and line with parchment paper. Set aside. 
In a large bowl add the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir to evenly distribute. Add the smashed banana, strawberries, milk, and butter. Stir until smooth and evenly combined. This should take about 2 minutes. 
Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake for approximately 50 minutes - or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. 
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 30 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool
Completely. While the cake cools you may begin working on the frosting. 

Frosting: 
1 cup butter (softened)
1/2 cup sugar 
4-5 cups powdered sugar (sifted)
1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
Optional -  all natural food colorings

Using an electric mixer, cream together your butter and sugar. Once lightened slightly begin adding your powdered sugar in 1/2 a cup at a time. Allow to fully incorporate before adding more. Once you’ve added two cups of powders sugar slowly add in the heavy whipping cream. Once incorporated begin adding the remainder of the powdered sugar until desired consistency and sweetness is achieved. Frost the cake and allow it to chill in the refrigerated until ready to serve. #bakersgonnabake #bananacake #strawberrycake #cakestagram
