Banana Raisin & Nut Cake Preparation:
20 minutes * Cooking: 1 hour *Serves 8 The perfect solution for using
bananas that are too ripe to eat out of hand is to make banana bread.
Bananas are high in potassium, niacin and vitamins A and C. *
Preheat an oven to 180ºC (350ºF). Coat a 23-by-13-cm (9-by-5-inch) loaf
pan with nonstick cooking spray. * In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients. * In a medium bowl, mash the bananas until smooth. Add the egg whites, sugar, buttermilk and vanilla and stir to mix well. *Pour
the banana mixture into the well in the dry ingredients and fold together
until blended. *
Pour the batter into the
buttered cake pan
and bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean,
30-40 minutes
or until cake is set. Cool
for
10 minutes before slicing. * To
serve, cut into 8 slices. One serving is 1 slice. Store wrapped in plastic
wrap in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 1 month. |
