preheat oven to 180 C. Grease and flour two 20cm round cake tins. In a small bowl, whisk together flour, bicarb soda and salt; set aside. In a large bowl, cream butter, white sugar and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time. Mix in the bananas. Add flour mixture alternately with the buttermilk to the creamed mixture. Stir in chopped walnuts. Pour batter into the prepared cake tins. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Remove from oven and place on a damp tea towel to cool
The buttermilk is a great alternative making a very moist cake.

Just googled friendship cake and got some interesting recipes, but were very long process up to 30days to make and then at the end of all of that you add the mix to pre bought cake mix. A bit of a let down after going through all the steps lolz.

LIME AND PASSIONFRUIT DRIZZLE CAKE
125g butter, softened 1 teaspoon lime zest 1 cup (220g) caster sugar 3 eggs ½ cup passionfruit pulp (approximately 6 passionfruit) 1½ cups (220g) self-raising flour ½ cup (125ml) milk whipped cream, to serve
Syrup 1/3 cup passionfruit pulp (approximately 4 passionfruit) ¼ cup lime juice ¼ cup caster sugar
Preheat oven 170°C. Line and grease a deep 20cm round cake tin with baking paper.
Combine all cake ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Beat with electric beaters on low speed until just combined. Increase speed to medium and beat 1-2 minutes or until mixture is smooth and pale in colour.
Spread mixture into tin and bake 50-60 minutes or until a skewer inserted comes out clean. Stand in tin for 5 minutes before turning out onto a wire rack.
In the meantime, push passionfruit pulp through a fine sieve to collect juice; set aside. Discard half of the seeds and return remaining seeds to the juice.
Mix passionfruit juice and pulp, lime juice and sugar together in a small mixing bowl. Stir until sugar dissolves.
Spike cake all over with a thin skewer and drizzle warm cake with syrup. Allow syrup to soak into cake before serving with a dollop of whipped cream.

Jamaican Coffee Syrup Cake
185g softened butter 1 c lightly packed brown sugar 1 T instant coffee powder dissolved in 1 t hot water 1 t vanilla 1 T dark rum 3 eggs lightly beaten 3 c SR flour 1/3 c milk
Syrup
3/4 c sugar 1 c boiling water 1 dsp instant coffee powder 1 dsp dark rum
To make the syrup caramelise the sugar until a good toffee colour but don't allow to get too dark, add the water carefully and stir to dissolve the toffee. Let cool, then put aside half a cup for the cake and stir coffee and rum into the rest.
Cream butter and sugar with the dissolved coffee, vanilla and rum until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs, then fold in the flour and milk and the half cup of syrup. Divide the mixture between 2 greased and baking paper lined cake tins or put it in one deep 23 cm tin.
Bake at 170C for 25-30 mins for two tins or 50-60 mins for one tin. Turn out onto a rack and let cool.
Brush a little of the flavoured syrup over the undersides of the two cakes or cut the large cake in half and brush each cut side with syrup. Fill generously with softly whipped cream sweetened to taste and drizzle the remaining syrup over gradually to allow it to soak into the cake.

Cheers.
