This banana bread snack cake doesn't need any frosting—just a dusting of powdered sugar. Guests are always amazed that I made this treat from scratch.
Ingredients:
- 1-2/3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/3 cup mashed ripe bananas (about 1 small)
- 1/3 cup canola oil
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Confectioners' sugar
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350°. In a bowl, combine flour and baking soda. In another bowl, whisk brown sugar, water, banana, oil and vanilla. Stir into dry ingredients just until moistened. Transfer to a greased 8-in. square baking pan.
- Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 30-35 minutes. Cool on a wire rack. Dust cake with confectioners' sugar. Cut into 9 pieces.
