Low-Fat Banana Raspberry Loaf Cake Recipe by Mangia

Ordinarily, banana bread is exactly low in fat! But with no butter, only a little oil, unexpected ingredients like cocoa powder and raspberry preserves, and a lot of mashed bananas, this unusual rendition of an exceedingly popular quick bread is lower in fat than more traditional recipes. You need really ripe bananas for this. Choose the ones with the skins that are almost black-in other words, the ones waiting to be thrown out. They provide the flavor, which there is a lot of in this tender cake.

A note about storing this cake. Because it is low in fat, it will dry out if stored for any length of time. If you need to hold it overnight, wrap it well in plastic wrap and keep it at room temperature.
