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.

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 well: Make sure to mash the bananas until they are smooth and creamy. This will help to create a moist and tender cake.
Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can make the cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
Use a loaf pan: A loaf pan is the best type of pan to use for this cake. It will help to create a evenly baked cake.
Bake the cake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit: This is the ideal temperature for baking this cake. It will help to create a moist and tender cake.
Check the cake for doneness: Insert a toothpick into the center of the cake. If it comes out clean, the cake is done.
Let the cake cool before frosting: Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting it. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
