For Dale in NC's DH for the church men's cake baking contest. This recipe came from another
Nancylander a year or so ago years ago, I'm sorry I didn't save her name. I modified it for low fat low sugar.
Suzz in NE

Ingredients

3 c. flour (1 cup can be whole wheat or seven grain)
1 c. sugar (or half Splenda half sugar mixture)
1 c. brown sugar (or half Brown Splenda half brown sugar mixture)
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
2 c. bananas, chopped chunky (riper is better)
1 c. walnuts, coarse chopped (or raisins)
1 tsp. cinnamon
1-1/2 c. oil (or 1/2 c oil + 1 c unsweetened applesauce)
3 eggs (can be egg beaters) whisk with fork to mix well 1 (8 oz.) can crushed pineapple (unsweetened, include juice)

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Generously grease and flour 10 inch tube pan or bundt pan. In bowl, sift flour, sugar, soda, salt and cinnamon. Add remaining ingredients and stir just until mixed. Hand mix only. Bake one hour and 10 minutes. Or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Comes out very moist. Low fat, low sugar version is very good, just not
quite as moist and sweet.

Can bake in muffin cups or mini loaf pans 3/4 full. Reduce baking time. Check after 20 minutes.

Can bake in muffin cups or mini loaf pans ¾ full. Reduce baking time. Check after 20 minutes. Done when toothpick comes out clean. I freeze these for DH's lunch box.
