~-- 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 350øF 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. From: "International Cooking with Coca-Cola", a
give away pamphlet fro The Coca-Cola Company, 1981.
