This has little to do with being in Peru, but a lot to do with enjoying life. I found this recipe online, tried it out last night, and it was quite successful! So I thought I would share it in case you were looking for something new and yummy to try.
Spiced Apple Banana Cake
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter and flour 13×9″ pan (I actually used two large loaf pans).
Beat together:
- 1 c. sugar
- 1/2 c. unsalted butter (room temperature)
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla
Add and beat until just blended:
- 2 c. flour
- 2 tsp cinnamon
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
Stir in:
- 2 c. chopped apples
- 1/2 c. mashed banana
- 1 c. chopped walnuts
Because the batter seemed a little thick and dry to me, I added a small amount of oil. You experienced bakers will probably find other solutions. But the batter was very heavy and yet it still rose nicely while baking.
Transfer batter to prepared pan. Bake until top browns and tester inserted in center comes out clean (about 55 minutes). Cool in pan. Cut cake into squares and serve warm with freshly prepared hot coffee.
Yum!
