Banana Raisin Cake

I was busy baking this afternoon because my son was having a friend over.  I had 4 leftover bananas, so I decided to  a cake.  I used raisins instead of walnuts.  This cake is rich enough to serve without frosting.  3 kids thumbs up!





1/2 cup softened unsalted butter
1 cup sugar
1 room temperature egg
4 mashed ripe bananas
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 cups flour
pinch of salt
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon clove
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1 cup raisins

• Cream together butter and sugar.  Add egg and beat until light and fluffy
• Add bananas and baking soda.  Let sit for 2 minutes
• Add in flour, salt and spices.  Mix until combined
• Fold in raisins
• Using a 9 x 13 inch baking pan, spray with nonstick baking spray.  Add cake mixture and bake at a 350 degrees until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clear.  40-50 minutes
