I think this is the orginal recipe. I only used one cup of brown sugar and I didn't use the frosting (typo in my previous posting). the frosting is a killer. The cake taste wonderful without the frosting...
That sounds almost like my recipe for carrot cake, substitute carrots for the bananas and it is almost the same. I put shredded coconut and raisons in my carrot cake too.

No thanks...if I got started I would gain 5# before I even got through baking it! It's been years since I ate any ! :D

I probably won't try it. I would feel so bad scalding the little birds so I could pull their feathers out - and they're so tiny, it would take a lot of hummingbirds to make a cake!!!! ;) ;) :lol: :lol:

When my daughter was in her final year of 4H, she made a HBC as her Food's project. She received Champion for her her efforts. They are good!

I have a loaf in my freezer, fat free...I use applesauce in place of the oil.

Some oil is really good for you. I make all my own food so I am in control of everything. I use brown sugar instead of white, and cut down on the amount anyway, cook only with cold pressed, virgin olive oil and have peanut and canola oil for hubby's popcorn or a cake.

I used no other oils. I use real butter when I have to. I never use sugar or fat substitudes. Margarine is not good for anyone.

We haven't cut out all fat completely. I have just cut it drastically. With a 2000 calorie day diet your fat intake should be around 65 grams or roughly 20 to 35 %.
My husband and I do about 1600 to 2000 calories a day, and only about 25 to 28 % total fat content.
I cook with olive oil, but use it sparingly. We don't use canola oil because it interferes with his blood thinners. Butter is a treat for us usually. And cheese is a no no, we drink 1 % milk.
