LOW FAT BANANA CAKE

Low Fat Banana Cake image

This is a spin off of Kittencal's (that genius girl) extreme low fat banana-blueberry muffins. But it was different enough ( I made the muffins a while back), that I decided to post the difference. This cake was wonderful! No one would guess it was low fat with little sugar except the fruit! You can use nonfat sourcream for the yogurt, but I haven't tried that.

Time 30m

Yield 9 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2-3/4 cup sugar (or to taste)
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup plain fat-free yogurt (can use low-fat yogurt)
3/4 cup mashed ripe banana
2 tablespoons oil
1 egg
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla

Steps:

Set oven to 350 degrees F.
Grease a 8 or 9-inch square baking pan or line muffin tins with paper liners.
In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt.
In a small bowl, whisk together yogurt, banana, oil, egg and vanilla.
Pour over dry ingredients, and gently stir with a spatula until JUST blended (do not over mix).
Spread the batter into prepared baking pan.
Bake for about 25 minutes, or until the top of the cake is light brown, and edges begin to pull away from sides of the pan (bake slightly less time for muffins).
Cool cake in pan on rack for 10 minutes.
Loosen sides of cake with a dinner knife or a spatula.
Invert cake right side up and cool completely.
Sprinkle lightly with powdered sugar.

Tips:

Use ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your cake will be.
Mash the bananas thoroughly: This will help to create a smooth and even batter.
Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can make the cake tough.
Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This will ensure that the cake is cooked through.
Let the cake cool completely before frosting: This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.

Low-fat banana cake is a delicious and healthy dessert that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is a great way to use up ripe bananas, and it is also a good source of fiber and potassium. With its moist texture and sweet banana flavor, this cake is sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering.
