I found a recipe in a recent issue of Cooking Light that I just had to try. It was called Banana Snacking Cake (click on the link for the recipe name for the recipe), and since I always have brown bananas hanging around I figured I'd put it to the test. The recipe was very simple to put together and baked up beautifully.
The cake stayed nice and moist even a few days later. I had My Oldest who happens to be the banana bread connoisseur try it. He thoroughly enjoyed it and even asked that I make it again with some other add-ins... maybe blueberries next time... or even chocolate chips. I think this recipe will lend itself well to variation.
While this was a tasty recipe, calling it cake could be debatable. It's baked in a square pan so yes, it looks like a cake, but it really tastes like another solid banana bread recipe. Truly it makes no difference what you call it because it is a moist, delicious cake.
I guess this will be my current go-to recipe for using those brown bananas that gather on my counter each week... at least until I find the next banana bread that I need to sample!

Absolutely gorgeous shots of this ....nice presentation!
Thank you!
Hi, Patsy! I like what you're doing with your blog! And I know what you mean about this recipe, "Or is it really banana bread?" I have a banana cake recipe too, and to me, it was still a banana bread. Either way---both are yummy! Have a happy Thanksgiving!
I tossed over this one myself! I ended up taking the Banana Fosters Bread and changing it up and turning that into a snack cake that was more like a cake....made me wonder if it would really be like bread if I had made bread!
