Servings: persons

24 large marshmallows
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup margarine, softened
1 1/2 cups white sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup buttermilk
1 cup chopped nuts (optional)
1 cup mashed very ripe banana

1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9x13 pan. Place marshmallows in a single, even layer in the bottom of the pan.
2
Sift together flour, salt, baking soda, and baking powder. Set aside.
3
In a large bowl, cream together the margarine and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla. By hand, stir in the flour mixture alternately with the buttermilk, mixing just until incorporated. Fold in nuts and bananas.
4
Pour batter over marshmallows, making sure that marshmallows are covered, and that the batter reaches all sides of the pan.
5
Bake on center rack of oven for 45 minutes. Marshmallows will rise to top and make a topping. The cake may look slightly underbaked because of the marshmallow topping. Allow the cake to cool before serving.
