My cake...

Ok, so I got a hankering for something sweet. Kids are at their aunt's and I am alone with my sweet tooth. I made a pot of coffee, and I went rummaging through my cupboard. I found a box of Duncan Hines Moist Deluxe Classic Yellow Cake Mix; I read through the ingredients; it was vegan-friendly. Ok, but now, how to make a cake without eggs? Google!!!

Egg substitutes: bananas? Who would have thunk it?

So, my brain started churning and my stomach started rumbling, and I got to thinkin'...yum.

So here is what I did:

One package above Duncan Hines Moist Deluxe Classic Yellow Cake Mix
One box Jello Cook and Serve Sugar and Fat Free Pudding
2 bananas, ripe and ready :)
1 cup water
1/3 cup vegetable oil
Mix very well on high until the lumps are gone

Spray 13x9 pan with cooking spray
layer fresh pineapple on the bottom, sliced fairly thin, but not too thin
I also tried to dice it in my food processor, but I ended up with a puree, so I gobbed that on top of the pineapple. All in all, the gob was probably about half a cup, and the cut pineapple was almost two cups.

I poured the cake mix over (it was thick) and put it in the oven at 350 for 30 min or so.

I will let you know how it turned out, as I still have 20 minutes to wait. So...am gonna go have some of that coffee.

It is now 8:03. Two pieces of cake later and two cups of coffee. I am one happy camper. Highly recommend my recipe, and the only thing I would change for next time is I would add a bit more pineapple puree. The cake was sweet, and if I could unsweeten it a bit, I would; however...deliciousoooooo!!!
The bananas made it so yummy, and it still came out light and fluffy. Who knew? Maybe next time I could pop out the vegetable oil and add applesauce instead...
G'night, sleep tight, pleasant dreams of pineapples and banana cake to you...:)
