INSTRUCTIONS
  1. Preheat your oven to 325 degrees. Prepare your 9 x 13 inch pan with grease and flour. In a small bowl combine mashed bananas, cinnamon and lemon juice and set aside. In a medium bowl combine flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Set aside. Using a handheld or stand mixer beat the butter and sugars on high speed until smooth and creamy, a few minutes. Scrape down the sides of your bowl as necessary. Add eggs and vanilla. Beat on medium speed until combined. Add dry ingredients, alternating with the buttermilk. Once incorporated gently add in your mashed bananas and strawberries with a wooden spoon. Do not over mix. The batter will be thick and a little lumpy. This is ok. Pour your batter into your prepared pan and bake for 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow cake to cool in the pan for between 5 and 10 minutes before dumping on to a rack to cool completely.
