(Does ‘84 count as old? I was born in ‘87 and I feel pretty old. 😂)
I had a bunch of frozen bananas I wanted to use up so I went into my cookbook collection browsing and found this. I thought 4 cups of bananas to 2 cups flour would be too mushy but it made a great consistency cake! Dense and basically banana bread, but flat. This would be good to bring to a pot luck. Excellent with salted butter, I think a cream cheese frosting would be yummy too.
Oh also, I didn’t have nuts but those would be great to break up the soft texture. I also regret not adding chocolate chips but I didn’t want to deviate too much on my first try.

What beatiful hand writting.
I don’t suppose there’s a recipe for summer sausage in there, is there? I grew up around a mennonite community, and I can’t find anything that’s nearly as good as the stuff they produced.
I’m betting there’s a date pudding recipe in there — if you haven’t had it, you definitely want to try it. It’s a similar flat dense cake, traditionally served with caramel sauce and something whipped (often in cookbooks of that era it’s cool whip, but easily upgraded to real whipped cream, or ice cream if you serve it warm brownie-sundae style).
I graduated high school in 84. So, yes. Lol
That is a funeral must have in my family!!
