Banana Cake V
SUPER MOIST! I doubled this recipe, used nonfat organic yogurt in place of the sour cream, added a pinch of cinnamon. I ran out of white sugar and used brown sugar for the last 1/2 cup needed. Doubled the recipe called for 2 cups sugar. Increased bananas to 2.5 cups of mashed banana. Added raw sunflower seeds and organic rasians. Baked in a Huge cast iron skillet for one hour-it tested done with a knife. The oven had been preheated to 375 and then lowered to 350 before I place the batter in to bake. It came out Super Moist and it has that heavy comfort food sensation when it hits bottom. Filling as well as having some nutritional value. Next recipe I am adding 1/2 Cup ground flax and possible lowering the sugar. Then experiment each time with extra fruit, nuts, etc...

This was a new dish for my family and it was a great hit. I did not have the thickening agent and I needed a use for some pearl barley so I added a handful and it really thickened the sauce and gave it some excellent texture. I used some Creole seasoning with a hint of wasabi for extra spiciness. Also I had canned shitake mushrooms as well as button mushrooms. All in all it turned out great. My husband was thrilled since we are trying to go Vegan. Thank you! Can not wait to try it with all fresh ingredients and file powder.
