27 February 2009 Greetings! This is a nice, moist, basic cake that gets part of its sweetness and bulk from fresh bananas. You can serve it plain or make it fancy. When I tested this recipe, studded the top with chopped walnuts and grain-sweetened chocolate chips. I was planning to put Cream Cheese Frosting on top with more fresh bananas and walnuts and chocolate chips, but I ran out of time before I needed to take the cake to a community meeting, where it was quickly devoured with delight. FRESH BANANA CAKE makes a 9-inch square cake 1/2 cup butter (1 stick)1 cup agave2 medium ripe bananas, mashed (about 1 cup)2 eggs1 teaspoon vanilla2 cups whole wheat pastry flour1 teaspoon baking soda1/2 teaspoon salt1/2 cup sour cream

 

 

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter and lightly flour a 9-inch square baking pan. Cream the butter and slowly add the agave, then beat until light and fluffy. Add the banana, eggs, and vanilla, and mix well. Whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt, then add to the banana mixture and mix. Add the sour cream and mix until well incorporated. Pour the batter into the pan. Bake for 45 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool in the pan for 5 minutes before turning the cake out on a rack to cool (or leave it in the pan to serve).
