I'm baaaack. Ah TWD, how I missed the. What a crazy July - and so many lactose desserts. This week's Banana Bundt Cake was perfect for my return. Hubby and I love banana bread, and I can easily make this lactose free with margarine and yogurt. And, it was chosen by one of my favorite bloggers who I have a major blog crush on and wish, o, wish I could be half as talented as. None other than Mary of The Food Librarian. You can find this amazing recipe HERE. So, I was a tad on the late side with this one - still true to my procrastinating TWD form - so we just tested this cake while it was still steaming hot. It was really good. I know it will only get better with a good night's rest (as Dorie mentions in the book) because that will give the banana flavor time to develop more. So, can't wait for breakfast. I added 1 tsp cinnamon and 1/2 tsp cardamon for a little kick. Those flavors are subtle and don't over power the banana. Another great Dorie recipe. Man I love this cookbook.
I loveeeeeeeeeeeeee the cake!!! I cant wait to try today as it rested even more!!! Cardamon sounds lovely in it!
ReplyDeleteWelcome back! Im so glad you were able to alter this recipe to fir your needs! I loved this one and will make it again and again! See ya Sunday for some Snickerdoodle action!
ReplyDeleteLooks delicious - and it's good to know it can be made dairy-free! Welcome back.
ReplyDeleteWelcome back! Your bundt cake looks terrific! I'm glad it was easy to make lactose free so you could enjoy it. I made mini bundts and gave most of mine away so I wouldn't be tempted!
ReplyDeleteLOL, I have a lot of photos like that! We seriously have a hard time waiting for things to get to room temp. (Even cheesecake!)
ReplyDeleteGood call on the added spices. I'm gonna try the cardamom!
