Peach-Banana Walnut Raisin Cake
I decided that on my first married Sunday at home, I should bake some fantastic treat after church… I wasn’t sure what to bake, but had been reading my blogs that baked creations originating from The Fitnessista’s 100% Whole Wheat Banana Bread… I decided that I should give her recipe a whirl since it sounded fantastic AND I had all of the ingredients on hand, too! I was lacking a little bit in the banana department so I chose to use up some peaches as a substitute which caused the batter to be slightly dry,which is why I decided to add in the skim milk… All in all, I highly recommend this cake/bread, it’s hearty, super-moist, and deliciously textured!
Peach-Banana Walnut Raisin Cake (adapted from Fitnessista’s 100% Whole Wheat Banana Bread)
Ingredients:
- 2 medium ripe bananas, mashed
- 1 cup vanilla nonfat yogurt
- 1 egg
- 1 1/4 cup Domino Light Granulated Brown Sugar
- 1 cup California raisins
- ½ cup crushed walnuts
- 2 1/2 cups 50% blend white + wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tbsp cinnamon
- 1 cup diced peaches
- 1 cup skim milk
Directions
Mix the dry ingredients well then add the wet ingredients, whisking until well-blended. Pour into Parchment paper-lined cake pan (or if you don’t have Parchment paper, just spray well). Bake for 40 minutes at 350 degrees (time could depend on your oven). Remove parchment paper-lined cake from pan and let cool for 10 minutes. Slowly peel away parchment paper and let cook for another 10-20 minutes or until cool to the touch.
Slice into “bread” slices or “cake” slices, whichever you prefer. I chose to cut mine into bread slices because it was easier and allowed for many more servings.
Pictured here is half of the cake cut up, I packed up the other half and gave it to my parents for a special treat! As you can tell this makes a large amount of servings, especially if you cut it into small pieces like I did.
You can choose to enjoy this cake plain (as Bill did), heated and then with a dab of margarine (as Bill did – can you tell he liked this bread?), or smeared with a little bit of peanut butter or fruit preserves (as I plan on doing). Either way, enjoy!
Sounds delicious! Thank you!
That looks incredible. I like your idea of throwing some peaches in in a pinch. It looks sooo moist.
sounds great!
looks yummy! i have been planning on making her bread with the addition of apples, so I am happy to hear that adding other fruit makes it still delicious!
Yum! That looks and sounds superb! I haven’t made banana bread in a long time. I really should do that one of these days.
That bread looks great
Hooray for baking as a newlywed!!
that looks fantastic!
That bread looks really yummy! Apparently its banana bread week because I made some muffins yesterday!
Love the new blog idea too!
what’s the calories count in this??
Yum!! I can’t wait to try this version because my banana bread has always been less-than-stellar!
Amna ~ I’m sorry but I don’t count calories and didn’t figure out the calorie count for this. However there are several tools online where you can plug in the ingredients (I think Spark has one) and figure it out if you are interested!
Your bread looks spectacular. Love that it uses peaches.
