HEALTHY BLUEBERRY AND BANANA CAKE



Healthy Blueberry and Banana Cake image

This is based on another recipe which I modified for our taste. It's very moist with a great banana flavour (as long as you use really overripe ones). Because there is not a lot of sugar, most of the sweetness comes from the bananas; it is not intended to be an overly sweet cake so please don't give this recipe a poor review simply because you are expecting it to be sweeter. Having said that, it still makes a really nice afternoon tea while being quite low in saturated fat for a cake and full of fruit. You can try adding more sugar if you like but of course then it won't be as healthy. :)
