Delicious Moist Cake - Real Crowd Pleaser This cake was excellent! I would highly recommend. I substituted the 1 Cup of Sugar with 3/4 Cup of Agave Blue. I also used heavy cream for an easy whipped cream filler and topper rather than the Bavarian topper recommended in the recipe.
This was a wonderful moist tasting cake. I use only only whole wheat flour and brown sugar in place of the sugar and it came out just perfect.
My comment is a question. I noticed that that cake can be made in advance but the cream had to be made the shortly before serving. My question is would the texture of the cream change if it was added to the cake the night before? P.S. Disregard my rating I haven't made this yet.
Fantastic moist delicious cake!!!!
disappointed - a very line layer cake - would have been better to just cook one pan - as it didn't provide enough for 2 pans -each layer might be 1 inch high!! when only 2 cups are required i should have known to put it into 1 pan. Picture deceiving.
Really Tasty I was really impressed. I expected it to taste heath-foodie which I dislike in desserts. Honestly if I hadn't made it myself I wouldn't believe it was made with whole grain. I omitted the white flour and went with all whole wheat. I eliminated 1/4 cup sugar from batter not because I planned it but because I ran out. I'm glad I did though. It was still very sweet. I plan to try this batter as a muffin/cupcake and replace the sugar with a natural sweetener like agave or honey. As a cake though this is a pretty perfect banana recipe. I also eliminated the slices of banana. I dislike how they tend to turn brown after a day. Very unappetizing. I love this recipe and plan to try it out on others and see if anyone calls me on the whole wheat. Pros: moist fluffy flavorful pretty presentation baked well easy Cons: original recipe calls for too much sugar
How can I substitute the whole-wheat pastry flour for regular whole -wheat flour? I live in a small town in Mexico and can not buy pastry flour not to mention whole wheat pastry flour. I have cooked may delicious Eating Well recipes except the ones that contain pastry flours. Thank you.
Use 1 cup of whole wheat flour plus 2 teaspoons of cornstarch take away 2 teaspoons of flour from the cup in order to have just one cup.
