Banana Pound Cake... without the pounds


The professor and I are moving in a few weeks and I am trying to use up all of our groceries.You know what that means? Forced recipe development. I spent the entire day on Sunday cleaning the kitchen so it could be packed and I deserved a reward in the form of cake. I'm going to lie an tell you I wanted to make a healthy pound cake, but the truth is, I didn't have any butter.


Banana Pound Cake
serves 8
1 hour 10 minutes

1 1/2 cups your favorite flavored yogurt (I used banana)
1 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
2/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
3 eggs
2 3/4 cup cake flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
pinch of pumpkin spice


Mix the yogurt, brown sugar, olive oil, and eggs together. Add the flour, baking soda, salt and pumpkin spice and mix until incorporated. Pour into a floured spring form pan and cook at 350 for 1 hour.

Serve with fresh berries drizzled on top.

  2. This sounds AWESOME, Jessie. It makes me think of kind of a hybrid pound cake and olive oil cake. I'm always looking for healthy-ish desserts, and this would go great with all the strawberries we've been buying lately. :)
