    2 1/2   c            Sifted confectioners' sugar
 
   For cake, bring honey to a boil in medium-sized saucepan; add 1/2 teaspoon

   minutes.

   creamed mixture; blend well.
   
   Pour batter into 2 greased and waxed paper-lined 8-inch round cake pans.
   Bake in preheated moderate oven (350 F.) 30 to 35 minutes.  Cool on wire
   rack about 10 minutes.  Remove from pans; cool.
   
   For frosting, beat cream cheese until fluffy.  Gradually add sugar,
   beating until frosting is smooth and of spreading consistency.  Spread
   between layers and over top of cake; refrigerate.  Just before serving,
   decorate with banana slices.  Makes one 2-layer cake.
