Let them eat cake




We can never seem to finish a bunch of bananas in our house before they spoil. So the solution? Buy less bananas? No! Why waste a good excuse to make something fun (and tasty)?

This has hands-down been my favorite variation of the banana cake/bread/muffin since childhood. One of my favorite things to do is to make a bunt cake out of 1.5 recipes. (Maybe not what Marie Antoinette had in mind...)

1/2C. oil
1 egg
1 C. Sugar
1 t. vanilla
2 smashed over-ripe bananas

1 1/2C. Flour
1 t. baking soda
1/2 t. baking powder
1/2 tsp. nutmeg

1/2C. brown sugar
Cinnamon to taste

Mix together first set of wet ingredients, then slowly add the second set of dry. Place in a buttered/floured cake pan (or muffin cups) and sprinkle the cinnamon-brown sugar on top. Swirl in with a knife. Bake at 350F for about 40 min (20 if you're making muffins).
