Can substitute egg beaters for whole eggs and Splenda Blend Brown Sugar to make this even healthier. Lovely moist flavorful cake! Can bake in the traditional 3-8 inch pans with cream cheese icing, but I usually skip the icing and lightly sprinkle with confectioners sugar.
Ingredients:
1 cup applesauce
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
3 eggs
1/2 cup white sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
3 -4 ripe bananas
8 ounces crushed pineapple, with juice
1 teaspoon cinnamon
3 cups flour
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
1 cup chopped pecans or 1 cup walnuts
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Mix applesauce and baking soda together.
3. Add eggs and sugars. mixing well.
4. Add chopped bananas, pineapple with juice, and vanilla.
5. Sift together flour and cinnamon and stir into batter.
6. Add chopped nuts.
7. Pour into 13 x 9 pan sprayed with Pam and floured lightly.
8. Bake for one hour, and test for doneness by inserting a toothpick into center of cake. If it comes out 'clean', it's done!
