Number Of Ingredients 18

1 cup whole-wheat flour
1 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
3/4 cup Splenda Sugar Blend for Baking
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2 teaspoon baking soda
4 large overly ripe bananas, mashed
1/2 cup plain lowfat yogurt
2 egg whites
2 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup walnuts, chopped

I've never made a chocolate banana cake before, but this recipe was easy to follow and the cake turned out great! It was moist and flavorful, and the walnuts added a nice crunch.

This cake was a bit dry, but the flavor was good. I think next time I'll add some more butter or oil to the batter.

This cake was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still good. I think next time I'll use less sugar or add some sour cream to balance out the sweetness.
