Banana Cake with Orange Icing
|
Ingredients
1/4 cup soft margarine
3/4 cup granulated sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup mashed ripe bananas (about 3)
1 teaspoon grated orange rind (optional)
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup buttermilk or milk soured, mixed with 2 teaspoons lemon juice or vinegar
Orange Icing:
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
2 tablespoons low-fat yogurt
1 teaspoon grated orange rind
1 teaspoon orange juice
Method
In a bowl, cream the margarine; add the sugar and beat well. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in the vanilla, bananas and orange rind.
Mix together the flour, baking powder and baking soda; beat into the egg mixture alternately with the buttermilk.
Spray a 9-inch springform or square pan with nonstick coating; spoon in the batter. Bake at 350 degrees for 40 minutes or until a toothpick or knife inserted in the cake center comes out clean. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes; remove from the pan and let cool on a rack.
To make the orange icing, in a small bowl, combine the sugar, yogurt, orange rind and juice; mix until smooth. Spread over the cake and serve.
