I love finding overripe bananas on sale! Sometimes I go a little crazy and buy more than I'll ever have time to use, but then I just pop them in the freezer for smoothies. I made 4 of these delicious cakes to freeze the other day. It's a perfect size for us to have a little something sweet for breakfast and not have any leftover to tempt us! :) Great with a tropical fruit salad!
1-1/3 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup mashed ripe banana (about 2 large bananas)
3/4 cup sugar
3 tablespoons canola oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1 large egg
Topping:
1/4 cup dark brown sugar
1 tablespoon water
2 teaspoons butter
2 tablespoons chopped macadamia nuts, toasted
2 tablespoons flaked sweetened coconut
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Coat a 9-inch round or square cake pan with cooking spray; line bottom with wax paper. Coat wax paper with cooking spray. In a medium bowl, combine flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda; stir well with a whisk. In another bowl, combine banana and the next 5 ingredients (sugar through egg). Beat with a mixer at medium speed 1 minute or until well blended. Add flour mixture to banana mixture, beat until blended. Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes or until a wooden toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pan 10 minutes on a wire rack; remove from pan. Carefully peel off wax paper. For the topping, combine brown sugar, water, and butter in a small saucepan; bring to a boil. Cook 1 minute, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and stir in nuts and coconut. Spread evenly over cake. 8-10 servings
