   • Peel and mash the ripe banana in a mixing bowl.
   • Add the lemon juice to the mashed banana and mix well. This helps prevent the banana from browning and adds a citrusy zing.

2. Cream the Butter and Sugar:

   • In a separate bowl, cream the softened butter with 1 cup of powdered sugar. Beat until the mixture is light and fluffy. This step ensures a smooth texture for your frosting.

3. Combine Banana with Butter Mixture:

   • Gradually incorporate the mashed banana mixture into the creamed butter and sugar. Stir gently to combine, ensuring the banana is evenly distributed throughout the frosting.

4. Add Powdered Sugar:

   • Slowly add the remaining powdered sugar, about 1/2 cup at a time. Mix well after each addition until you reach your desired consistency. The frosting should be thick and spreadable, perfect for topping your cakes.

5. Spread and Enjoy:

   • Once the frosting is ready, use a spatula to generously spread it over your cooled spice cake or any other dessert of your choice.
   • Decorate with banana slices or a sprinkle of cinnamon for an extra touch of flavor.

Serving Suggestions:

• This Banana Frosting pairs wonderfully with spice cakes, carrot cakes, or even simple vanilla cupcakes.
• For a refreshing twist, try spreading it on banana bread or using it as a dip for fresh fruit slices.

Storage Tips:

• Store any leftover frosting in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
• Before using leftover frosting, let it come to room temperature and give it a quick stir to restore its creamy texture.

Notes:

• For a richer flavor, you can add a splash of vanilla extract or a pinch of cinnamon to the frosting.
• Adjust the amount of powdered sugar based on your desired sweetness and thickness.

Enjoy the delightful nostalgia of this Banana Frosting, a sweet reminder of simpler times and cherished family recipes! 🍰✨
