Low-fat low-points Banana Pineapple Walnut Cake



Makes 12 slices

Ingredients, PointsPlus value
Group1:
2 cups flour, 24
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
3/4 cup Splenda
1/4 cup powdered or regular sugar, 4
1/2 tsp cinnamon
a little freshly ground nutmeg

Group 2:
1 cup (8oz.) pureed pineapple or 1 can crushed pineapple
2 cups pureed or mashed bananas
2 tbsp oil, 6
2 eggs, 4
1 egg white

Group 3:
1.5 cups chopped or sliced bananas
1/2 cups chopped pineapple
1/4 cup walnuts broken, 4

1. Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Mix Group ingredients
3. Mix Group 2 ingredients
4. Combine the Group 1 and Group 2 ingredients till just thoroughly combined
5. Add in Group 3 ingredients and fold everything together till thoroughly combined.
6. Divide into 2x9-inch round baking tins. Bake for 40 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean.

This cake is quite moist and quite sweet. I left a little bit of oil and sugar in for a nice taste and partly for texture.
Delicious served cool or warm. If you can splurge a few calories, a light cream-cheese frosting will be nice.

PointsPlus value per slice: 3.5
