Grandma's Vintage Recipes

This blog is for the posting of Vintage Recipes. I have inherited recipes from both my grandmothers, mother, aunts, etc over the years. I am also a cookbook collector with several old cookbooks in my possession. My goal here is to share with you older recipes that have been lost to many. I hope you will enjoy my blogs and some old memories will be revived by some of the recipes. Note:To save the vintage value of these recipes, I make no changes. You see the original recipe as written.

MOIST BANANA CUP CAKES

It seems cupcakes have taken over to the point of stores that just sell cupcakes! So I thought it was time to go back to this 1950s Southern Indiana Banana Cupcake Recipe!

1 2/3 cups flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/3 cup butter, at room temperature
1 cup brown sugar
1 egg
2 tbs. sour cream
2/3 cup mashed ripe bananas

Mix the flour and baking powder. Cream butter and sugar, add egg and sour cream. Add sifted flour mixture and beat well. Fill greased muffin cups about 3/4 full. Bake 15 minutes at 350 degrees, or until done.

Sprinkle with powdered sugar or ice with your favorite icing..
NOTE: This recipe leaves out when to add the bananas (kind of funny since they are banana cupcakes!). Personally, I add them after the egg and sour cream.
