Almond Banana Cranberry Cake |
1 egg
1 cup white sugar (I generally use less (1/2 to 3/4 cup) as the fruit makes this sweet enough)
1/4 cup of melted butter or margarine
3 large bananas mashed
1 teaspoon almond extract
1 1/2 cup all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
Pinch of salt
1/2 cup chopped pecans (or walnuts)
1/2 cup dried craisins (i.e. dried cranberries, regular raisins will also work, you can also add some frozen blueberries or other berries if you like)
Preheat oven to 350 F. Beat egg till frothy. Add sugar, butter, bananas and almond extract. Sift flour, baking soda and salt into banana mixture and stir to combine. Fold in nuts and craisins. Pour into a greased 9x9 inch pan or 9x5 loaf pan. Bake at 350 F for 25-30 minutes (use a toothpick to check for doneness). If baking a loaf, bake for 1 hour. Let cool and eat.
