BTVC Banana Cake Recipe Question

[Guest guest]

I tried pecan flour on my son last night and we had a return of the

red cheeks and I ended up having to give him Claritin this morning!

He had one " cupcake " using pecan flour and a muffin recipe- I was

experimenting to try to make a chocolate looking cupcake.

He also had two pecan flour based cookies from Digestive Wellness.

Either way, pecan flour was the only new thing yesterday and of

course I ordered a pile of it!

Well, I did try to make the " cupcakes " egg free and used the fish

based gelatin, but I'm pretty sure he's had that before OK...

Only 1 container of dates came in, not enough to experiment with the

14 date cake recipe for tomorrow. But, I may be able to use them to

make the cake look more brownish.

I would like to try the banana cake recipe in BTVC. Someone told me

it worked well for them. For those who have made it- what size cake

pan did you use for one recipe of it- the book doesn't give a size?

I would like to use two round cake pans to layer and I guess I would

use the honey icing recipe in BTVC.

Should I double the recipe or does the recipe make 2 layers already?

Got lots of bananas and eggs to experiment.

Thanks!

Oh, that cake is a favorite in our house. I use a pie plate usually, or the

recipe makes 12

cupcakes. I also add another 1/2-1 banana, gives it a more " sweet cake " taste.

If you want two layer of a round cake, double it.

Let me know how the frosting goes, we haven't tried that yet.

Hi Dawn!

I made the cake yesterday and it was a success! I used two mini

round cake pans to make a little layer cake.

Next time I will do as you say and try adding a bit more banana.

I couldn't taste it because I can't eat eggs, but hubby and his

grandma both said it was delicious! And of course, my son loved it!

The icing was interesting. I guess maybe I was expecting fluffy

white, but honey just isn't gonna turn anything white I guess!

I beat and beat and beat and it was still kind of thin. A lot like

melted marshmallow only thinner. Very very sticky! I just

spread/drizzled it between the layers and on top and around the

sides. Some of it soaked in, some of it stayed- it had an overall

glossy look to it. Still worked!

Last year my son had a fruit platter with a candle stuck in it, so

this was a huge exciting thing for him to have a " real cake " !

I will definitely make the cake recipe again!
